Zendy Explores Information Retrieval in the AI Age
Zendy posted “From Boolean to Intelligent Search: A Librarian’s Guide to Smarter Information Retrieval” on its blog, which states the following:Traditional search still relies on structured logic, keywords, operators, and carefully crafted queries. AI enhances this by interpreting intent rather than just words. Instead of matching text, AI tools for librarians analyse meaning. A researcher looking for ‘climate change effects on migration’ won’t just get papers containing those words, but research exploring environmental displacement, socioeconomic factors, and regional studies. This shift from keyword to context means librarians can spend less time teaching a researcher how to ‘speak database’ and more time helping them evaluate and use the results effectively. For more information, read the blog post.
