The transition from searching in a single database to searching a mult
iplicity of networked databases exacerbates some old difficulties in t
he design and evaluation of retrieval systems and creates new ones. A
network environment calls into question the traditional definitions of
recall and relevance. Efficient network searching raises questions ab
out where to look first, where to look next and when to stop searching
. The need for ''entry vocabulary'' support and the need for support i
n moving from one system vocabulary to another are increased by the in
creased use of more different databases. The network environment offer
s the option of collecting different representations of the same objec
t and merging them into an extended record.
