[Sigia-l] case studies for book

[PeterV]

Hi all,
in my continuing quest to do as little real work as possible (and 
attempting to write a hopefully decent-ish book), this is a call for people 
who'd like to collaborate on case studies for a book I'm writing on 
Information Architecture.

I imagine this working as follows: if you have worked on a website (and can 
give me permission to feature it in the book), I would interview you, and I 
would write a short (one page) case study about a certain aspect of the 
website. You can review the case study, and then give me permission to use 
it in the book. The case studies will be used to illustrate certain aspects 
of the practice of information architecture.

Right now, I am looking to write a few short case studies related to doing 
user research. If you've used task analysis, any form of audience analysis 
or research (contextual inquiry, ...), personas, scenarios, stuff on walls 
to communicate user research in a team, and if you can explain me how this 
research led to certain design (IA, flows, visual design, functionality, 
...) decisions for the website, I would love to put them in the book.

Please email me at peter at poorbuthappy.com if you are interested, or with 
any questions you may have.

All the best,
PeterV
