>> I remember this term first coined by people in consultancy/boutique
shops during the 'dot-com' era. 

If I am not mistaken, Wurman used the term "information Architecture" in
the first version of Information Anxiety in 1989, preceding the dot.com
era. He was definitely referring to a pre-internet form of IA related to
information overload.
