How to search and retrieve information materials

Information search therefore is the ability to find or source for information contained in documents in satisfaction of one’s need or decision.
An information retrieval system according to Lucky et’al (2013) is the device that helps the user to fitter through a pool of information sources, so that only those documents that are relevant to his or her information need are retrieved.
Some of the search and retrieval strategies include Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC), online databases, CD-ROM resources, and internet navigation, and selected Web sites.
