Modern Information Retrieval - Second Edition is finally out!

Modern Information Retrieval, 2nd ed. will be a key textbook in information retrieval during the coming years, and I expect it to be as successful as its first incarnation.

The book has been completely rewritten, including four new chapters and a new appendix, many new topics and more teaching resources. Overall has 18 chapters and appendices, 913 pages (more than 1,100 in the font of the first edition) and 1,800 references.

Ricardo Baeza-Yates and Berthier Ribeiro-Neto wrote about 60% of the book and participated in all but 5 chapters. Many people collaborated in several chapters; in my case I co-authored the chapter on Web Crawling.

Several chapters can be downloaded as well as slides for teaching from http://mir2ed.org/
