Assignment: Evaluative Bibliography on Articles- Information Retrieval System

Instruction:

I. First, you must clearly identify your focus group. The group you choose might be:

1. Other students are looking for less traditional readings on the notion of a document in the 21st century.

2. A group of Ph.D. students with various backgrounds who want to come up to speed on cutting-edge thinking in information science.

3. A set of undergraduate or high school students who want to see if information science is more than making indexes and library catalogs.
These are just examples. You can identify any group you'd like.

II. With your potential readers in mind, you want to give them an idea of why, out of all the articles available these days, the three articles you have chosen are most worth their time. So, you should write:

1. A one-sentence description of your user group at the beginning

2. A very summary (one or two sentences at the most) of each article. What is novel or intriguing about the article?

3. Is it an easy/interesting read for non-specialists or a little hard but worth it?

4. How does this fit in with the background knowledge of your assumed seekers?

5. How does it fit with what you learned in this course?

6. What are the author's credentials for some, you may only be able to find what school or organization is their home, others are likely to be famous in the field - dig a little bit, but not obsessively.
