Analise e avaliação da recuperação da informação na BRAPCI

Abstract

Contextualizes Librarianship and Information Science and their relation with the field of information retrieval in information systems. Therefore, it presents concepts of information retrieval, silence, recall, precision and noise. Based on this, it conducts an exploratory and descriptive research, with the website of the Database in Information Science (Brapci) as the locus for study and analysis. It performs an analysis of information retrieval from four categories: flexibility, usability, accessibility and efficiency. As a result, it describes the main positive points that could be improved in the categories listed from the empirical research on the website. It concludes that, in spite of the aspects to be improved, Brapci presents good results with regard to information retrieval, in addition to being an intuitive and easy to use and access information system, with significant prominence in the scientific field of Library Science and Information Science in Brazil.
