Information storage and retrieval is a fast-rising, multidisciplinary field concerned with the organization, storage, retrieval, and analysis of information. It comprises a very large area of topics, information systems, databases, information structure, and therefore retrieval of information at the very core, basically dealing with the ways and methods of techniques for the extraction of relevant pieces of information from huge data collections. That is to say, one will have to understand the formulation of user queries, document indexing, and the development of algorithms to get information fast and retrieve it. On the other hand, information storage and retrieval concerns the theoretical base and its application within the creation, managing, and using of information within techno-contexts or contexts of libraries, archives, and digital environments. These together make a difference in the efficient access of information in the modern world, abounding in data, impacting healthcare, education, business, and beyond.
