Effect of instantaneous retrieval on indexing criteria

Emil H. Levine

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1974, vol. 25, issue 3, 199-207

Abstract: Based on empirical and anecdotal evidence, there appears to be a definite relationship between increased browsing capability (browsability) and user acceptance of lower relevance. New automated microform retrieval devices are providing near instantaneous retrieval of documents. The effect of this new capability on indexing criteria should be further explored. New indexing philosophies should be developed in order to optimize the total document retrieval system to the user's constraints of time and comprehension.
