A Preliminary IA Bibliography

Files and folders

When some two years ago we started working on what was to become the Journal of Information Architecture, I had already started charting what academia was thinking and writing on the subject of IA. It was not easy, as the one word which could basically explain how the field looked was fractured.

The IA Happy Cab - Part 2

Eric and the dog

Part two of the log I kept during the 20 hour drive back from the 1st Polish IA Conference in Warsaw to Hamburg and Copenhagen on the IA Happy Cab (#iahappycab) on Saturday April 17, with Eric Reiss (ER, @elreiss), Jim Kalbach (JK, @jameskalbach) and his wife Nat (NK, @natkalbach). As much as John Cleese (http://ow.ly/1COQg), we had to beat the Cloud and get home soon, but with a slightly smaller budget.
Only problem: I could not tweet reliably so I just kind of tweeted on paper, and here's the result. Enjoy Part 2, Part 3 and the trip's conclusion coming soon.

As those of you who have been unfortunate enough to spend some time with me over a coffee or two know very well, I happen to have some interest in the education side of IA. Syllabi, courses, programmes, university seminars, that kind of things.

Snowy winter, this one. And snow at -12 is rather different. He.

Gaia's New Secret Alphabet

'Architect' is a broad term; 'designer' is not. Architects are expected and required to take a holistic approach to their work. They don't work on paint colors and furniture placement, while the engineers or building contractors figure out where to put the walls and staircases; they work beside them, specifying the user experience in every aspect of the construction.
