5.0 out of 5 stars Meat and potatoes, April 13, 2003

By	Joan L Haslip "joan_haslip" - See all my reviews

There are numerous books that provide countless tips on Information Architecture such the creation of information infrastructures and blueprints, web design, and user experience. However, this book provides us with an overview of how exactly an Information Architect fits into our world and their importance within it.

It supplies information regarding the steps one needs to take to become an Information Architect such as educational opportunities. These educational opportunities are beginning to appear with more frequency (i.e. - University of Baltimore, etc.)and this area of specified education will be pioneering into the future. Personally, this was the most important part of the book for me because I have been doing research to locate an appropriate PhD program (Information Science, Communication, Library Science, etc.) with a concentration in Information Architecture. The book has confirmed to me much of my research and provided additional invaluable information.

The book also describes the future of the discipline and the profession itself. This is a book that is full of facts about schools, to corporations that Information Architects work within, to the expertise that is needed in this flourishing profession.

I have been searching high and low for a book like this. I was looking for the meat and potatoes of the profession and how to get there. That is exactly what I got.
