Információs Tezaurusz

Abstract

The information retrieval thesaurus is a good tool in the library users’ hand because it helps the orientation among indexing terminology. An average user faces great difficulties when tries to construct a query focusing on the desired topic, s/he builds up the query from their own vocabulary or tries to specify the topic but usually this is not correct enough for a machine to cope with (if we are talking about computerized catalogue), and because of this, the user gets such results that are totally different from what s/he asked (at least it seems as if this would be the case, but in effect the results differ from not what s/he asked, but from what s/he wanted to ask).
