[Sigia-l] RE: Information Architecture Education

[Michael Salvo]

Luz:

I have been teaching Information Architecture in a graduate program in
technical and professional communication.  I have used these books in
different configurations as well as numerous online readings/sources.  The
course is designed to introduce students to user-centered design theory
and methods, but I do not know if this is what you had in mind.

If you would like more information, see the links in my signature below or
email me offlist.
