[Sigia-l] IA research? and professionalism

Yes; I do not disagree with that, and thank you for reminding me. But was he
not speaking about those practising a range of activity which goes well
beyond the world wide web, intranets and the internet? I have a concern that
IA has become too focused in one particular, technology heavy, area.

I would like to see it re-expand its horizons and take account of its roots.
I still think Pemberton's eight aspects are relevant in the context of
Peter's call to "get on with the program".

Regards,
Amanda Cossham
