Abstract

Information retrieval, also known as search, is the field concerned with the acquisition, organization, and searching of predominantly knowledge-based information. Although biomedical information retrieval has traditionally focused on the retrieval of text from the biomedical literature, the types of information searchable now include images, video, chemical structures, gene and protein sequences, and a wide range of other digital material relevant to biomedical education, research, and patient care. With the proliferation of IR systems and online content, the notion of the library has changed substantially, and new digital libraries have emerged.
