El artículo pretende dar a conocer los lineamientos para la evaluación de Sistema de Recuperación de Información (SRI) utilizando el método de la simulación. La utilización de los indicadores recobro y precisión son ideales para medir la recuperación de la información relevante y reducir el ruido. Basándose en la aplicación de estos indicadores en el SRI de la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos se propone su aplicación en SRIs de todo tipo. La evaluación concluye que la tasa promedio de recobro tiene un nivel aceptable de desempeño mientras que la tasa de precisión enfrenta dificultades.
