Building on the expertise developed in Exploring Information Resources, students learn to apply client-centred approaches to information organisation through the design and evaluation of a database. This subject explores the interrelationship between processes and principles of information/knowledge organisation, retrieval practices and information seeking behaviours in networked information environments. The subject covers topics such as: content analysis, indexing, classifying, thesauri tools, content management, metadata, mediating relationships and usability. Information organisation is explored within a framework of information retrieval interactions. Searching and evaluating retrieval effectiveness is examined as part of the usability testing that puts principles into practice in a specific client context.
