摘要：Originally aiming to become a librarian, I was first introduced to information science and information retrieval (IR) by my first professor, Sinikka Koskiala, at the University of Tampere in 1972. She guided me to read F.W. Lancaster’s Information Retrieval Systems: Characteristics, Testing and Evaluation (1968), Manfred Kochen’s The Growth of Knowledge (1967), Gerard Salton’s Automatic Information Organization and Retrieval (1968) and several other excellent texts. The ideas gained from them remained in my mind while I studied computer science, database management in particular, and nearly stayed in that area as a researcher. Accidentally, I returned to information science in the early 1980s and assumed the responsibility of developing the curriculum for classification, indexing and information retrieval at one of the predecessors of my current school, the School of Information Sciences, University of Tampere, Finland.
