A library is a structured collection of sources of information and related resources, made available to a defined community for reference or borrowing purposes. Library provides physical or digital access to resources, and may be a physical structure or room, or a virtual space, or both. Information explosion has made it an issue of imperative for libraries to have at their disposal good information retrieval systems. This paper took a critical look at the types of information retrieval systems such as-speech information retrieval; cross language information retrieval; question-answering information retrieval; image information retrieval and music information retrieval. Also the paper discussed the kinds of information retrieval system such as offline Search and online Search, information retrieval tools; functions of information retrieval systems. Drawbacks of information retrieval system encountered by the users in the libraries were also discussed and appropriate recommendations were made.
