Abstract

The conventional method of preparing SDI (Selective Dissemination of Information) profiles often necessitates detailed interview sessions between the client and one or more information scientists. This research shows that by submitting samples of the client's recent professional reading material to automatic text analysis, SDI profiles can be prepared that result in significantly higher initial recall scores than do those prepared by conventional techniques; relevance scores are not significantly different.
