[David Heller]

<<I'm tryign to find an IA who knows stuff like taxonomy
design/classification and the like-- and I keep geting these site
map+interaction types.. west coast IA's. How do you tease them apart?
Anyone else go up aginst this problem? advice? >>

I think you have to specify that you want someone w/ a library science
background VERY few IAs out there really come from the type of
background you are looking for. One of the reasons I stopped calling
myself an IA; see B&A article for more info. ;-)

The term has just been mis-used, mis-appropriated, and over-generalized
to become useless.
