Intelligent information Retrieval comprehensively surveys scientific information retrieval, which is characterized by growing convergence of information expressed in varying complementary forms of data - textual, numerical, image, and graphics; by the fundamental transformation which the scientific library is currently being subjected to; and by computer networking which as become an essential element of the research fabric.
Intelligent Information Retrieval addresses enabling technologies, so-called `wide area network resource discovery tools', and the state of the art in astronomy and other sciences.
This work is essential reading for astronomers, scientists in related disciplines, and all those involved in information storage and retrieval.

The succeeding characters up to the tab form a user display string to be shown to the user for use in selecting this document (or directory) for retrieval. The first character of the line is really defining the type of item described on this line. In nearly every case, the Gopher client software will give the users some sort of idea about what type of item this is (by displaying an icon, a short text tag, or the like). The characters...
