[Sigia-l] IA and medium

You should have come to my session at the Summit -- we talked about exactly
this question for an hour and a half.

My thesis, which was met with general agreement from the group, was that IA
is not medium-specific, and that we have much to learn from work in other
media (even beyond RSW, UCD, HCI, LIS, etc.).

Surely you're referring to the distinction between the discipline and the
role? ;)
