Natural language and controlled vocabulary approach in text-based information retrieval system with both advantages and disadvantages. Both of the approaches remain in use effectively. However the retrieval technique by using combination of natural language and controlled vocabulary is ideal to be used in text-based information retrieval system. Searching by using natural language and controlled vocabulary, in fact, are complementary. Efficiency and effectiveness of text-based information retrieval system can be measured from recall and precision.

The role of intermediary in information searching is felt to be more important, because information need by people increases over time, even day to day. The information retrieval in database requires some strategy and techniques of exploration. Both strategy and technique of searching will include the activity of identifying information need, building query and formulating, selecting the appropriate database, and evaluating. Making reference to such strategy, experiment on information retrieval system conducted to one real user of information seeker get the optimal result. This is evident in which the document taken based on eight queries gets the highest precision i.e., 0.68, with averagely 68.37%. It means, 68.37% of document gained by the subject will be relevant to subject needed by information seeker. Such precision figure can be used as indicator to state the database used in this research, i.e., Science ProQuest Agriculture Journals which USU Library is subscribing in addition to relevant database used by agricultural researcher that will be also relevant to be used by researchers in technological field of fishery result.

Entering the library, people expect to find an old – fashioned librarian usually woman with hair in tight bun, wearing glasses, and sensible shoes. She also loves silence, likes books and says “shh“ a lot. Although librarian deals with computer everyday, the people think that she still looks like the mid-century stereotype. The question is “what happened to the librarian? In a working situation where employees are in continuous contact with the client, such as librarian in the library, the ability to interact and communicate well is essential to the outcome of so much of the work they do. The important thing is it also build the image of the employees /librarians. In other words the image of the librarians, whether it is positive or negative, is really depends on how librarians satisfy the user’s needs through library services. Library users do not only search products or services, they also search the many intangible things such as friendliness, goodwill, a caring attitude, and a whole range of other behaviors and emotions which go to create the package called “interpersonal skill”.
