hay kids,
I'm currently working on a module about information retrieval and for my first assignment I have to evaluate some IR Systems, I'm not sure what the exact systems will be but they will consist of search engines, metasearch engines, subject portals, databases, OPACs, Inet directories and social tagging IR systems.
I was wondering, and hoping tbh, if any of you have had to acquire a new IR system for your work and if you undertook any evaluation tests...and if you did would you mind telling me what the tests were and how to do them?
It would be for a specific user group that I have to choose so am already on to finding out about specific IR systems I just want some ideas about evaluation methods and testing (anything on recall and precision testing would be aces tbh) also any tests anyone may have done that did not work so well would also be useful.
Ok many thanks I'll let you all get back to looking at porn and eating wotsits now,
