I read the first edition, which helped me tremendously when I was thrown into a Knowledge Management role 10 years ago. I'm so glad I am revisiting now. The updates are tremendously helpful. In my mind, a "must read" for anybody who is asked to
- build out an Intranet - because SharePoint or something similar is already available (used for file sharing), and it's easy, right? How do you now create something robust where users find what they are looking for?
- go from developing software that deals with data entered by users and that is stored in a database to designing software that can "also" deal with content such as text on page, files, links, and all that other "stuff"
- organize our documentation better and make it more accessible - we have a shared drive where files are hidden in 6 levels of folders, and people are struggling to find what they are looking for
- go from "training" to a more comprehensive "learning" ecosystem - where courses are complemented with job aides, articles, and other content that now needs to be curated and presented in a learner-friendly way

From the Publisher
Audience for This Book
Who do we hope to reach with this fourth edition of the polar bear book? Because we assume that any interactive product contains information, this book is for anyone who’s responsible for defining how interactive products and services work: user experience designers, product managers, developers, and more. The job titles don’t really matter; what matters is that your work results in products and services that are interactive, information dense, and used by at least one person besides yourself. Previous editions of the book delved into the subject of information architecture as a career path. We have eschewed these discussions in the fourth edition in favor of treating information architecture as an area of practice. You do not need to have the words “information architect” on your business card in order to benefit from the ideas in this book.
Organization of This Book
This book is divided into 3 parts and 13 chapters, progressing from abstract fundamental concepts to processes, tools, and techniques you can use to put them into practice. It breaks down as follows.
- Part I, “Introducing Information Architecture,” provides an overview of information architecture for those new to the field and experienced practitioners alike.
- Part II, “Basic Principles of Information Architecture,” presents the fundamental components of an architecture, illustrating the interconnected nature of these systems.
- Part III, “Getting Information Architecture Done,” covers the conceptual tools, techniques, and methods to take you from research to strategy & design to implementation of an information architecture.
Good content for UX Design
The content is really good and important to understand how to organize information to users on UX design. The book is a little bit big, around 470 pages.The condition that came is really nice, I was hoping less because was tagged like "Aceptable" condition, but is in really good condition.A good buy! :)
