I assume if they do then perhaps coming at it from the other direction 
would be possible?  Through Endnote I can search a variety of indexes 
and library catalogs and add references from there. They're using 
Z39.50.*  Endnote might be a Z39.50 client only and unable to consume 
resources via a web services API though (that would be a shame).

Peter --

I agree with the seemingly stale nature of IA.  I think there are a
lot of innovative things going on, but few are bubbling up in
research.  The whole design field, of which IA is only a part, is
getting more and more splintered.  The last couple of years have seem
splinter professional groups pop-up, increasingly with the same folks
on the boards.  These differentiations are breaking the discussions,
adding different terminology for the same subjects that things split. 
Clients are confused, innovation is trapped in the splinters, great
ideas are compartmentalized, and everybody is suffering.  I completely
agree that we need to be listening to outsiders, everybody should, and
we should stop making groups of outsiders.  IA is only a slice in a
larger design world, see Peter Boersma's "Model-T"
(http://www.peterboersma.com/blog/2004/11/t-model-big-ia-is-now-ux.html)
for a clearer idea how things fit together.

There are incredible volumes of research and lessons learned that are
imbedded in various disciplines that IA has not paid much attention. 
There are wonderful discussions on cross-discipline vocabularies,
which is what the folksonomies are actually solving.  We desparately
need to open our eyes to see other disciplines and build cross-walks
to their terminologies and build on their experiences.

For the last couple years I have been talking about the need to stop
designing for getting the information infront of the user. 
Findability is great, but it is just a start as once people find the
info they are often actually burdend by having information in unusable
formats or not having the ability to use the information easily in
standard formats.  Additionally, the folksonomy-enabled tools allow
people to not only call items they find something that makes sense to
themselves the tools help open up information for others with a
similar vocabulary.  Recalling information for reuse is a huge part of
information reuse and we are in a prime spot to help move this
enabling along.  Part of the limiting is seeing regular folks often do
not work in heirarchies, but more flat term definitions.  As regular
people start adding more information, with out formal systems we are
going to see much more flat terminology structures emerging.

We are moving to a world where more information can be added to the
world around us and even applied to physical items (some are actually
living just fine in this future).  The flood of information, which is
incresingly being added in with metadata in flat structures, has the
propensity to turn from the "scent of information" into the "stench of
information".  Building structures and tools that ease and enable
getting the needed information from all locations and to us when we
desire is the key.

Do we have the right toolset?  Most likely not.  We still are relying
on "navigation" as a metaphor, which only encoruages this "screen as
the dead end" mentality.  We know building with this cul-de-sac
mentality is wrong, but many still embrace it rather than actually
thinking and working toward something that may provide a smoother flow
of information through the user's life.  I have been working on one
means of doing this for the past three years or more in the Model of
Attraction and the Personal InfoCloud, and there must be more out
there or we are really sunk.

All the best,
Thomas

I'm quite new to the field, so this is very much an outsider's
perspective.
(former cataloguing librarian, now lecturer in information and library
studies, and records and information management consultant)

But since I am trying to come to grips with this fascinating field all
at
once, I've been fairly ruthless and thorough in reading the literature
and
seeing how IA has developed. Have to say that I agree with Peter Van
Dijck's
blog entry - there is a dearth of stuff at the moment. Plus, I am very
conscious of the distance between, for example, what is discussed on
this
list and various websites, and the "older" literature - where IA was not
restricted to the web. Cross-disciplinary perspectives are definitely a
way
to go - with this most cross-disciplinary of all disciplines. To carve
out a
new niche, while still keeping up with what is happening elsewhere takes
considerable effort - on top of simply making a living!

As well, I wonder whether IA is a profession. Not sure that it has quite
reached that status yet (not disputing the professionalism of any of you
in
the field, just asking) - and I think that the development of a body of
research is one factor to consider here.

I've considered whether records managers are a profession, against a
number
of measures. The following article is most interesting:
Pemberton, J. Michael. "Records Management: Confronting Our Professional
Issues." Records Management Journal 8, no. 3 (1998): 5-18.

Pemberton uses eight characteristics against which he considers the
development of records management towards professionalism. The
characteristics are: abstract and practical knowledge, social relevance,
code of ethics, education, professional culture, autonomy, sense of
commitment and client service.  "Taken together these characteristics
form a
model useful in gauging the progress of any occupation towards becoming
a
profession." 

While he does not mention research specifically, I consider that it
comes
under abstract and practical knowledge, education, and possibly
professional
culture as well. Research is something that academics do too, and
scholarly
publishing is the outcome of this output. Unless I'm looking in all the
wrong places (tell me if I am!) I cannot locate any scholarly journal
publication dedicated to IA.

I think it will take more time, and effort on the part of all who
consider
themselves information architects. It will take a push from teaching
institutions to ensure graduates emerge willing to continue research. It
takes motivation from those working in the field to document and
evaluate
and then *disseminate* this information. It takes awareness of other
disciplines, which is an ongoing and constant process. It takes
awareness of
exactly WHAT information architecture actually is, a common ground.

This is my own ramble - thank you for reading.

Amanda

Hi Ziya,

well, if Lou said it, then I believe it :)

Seriously, I am not sure that a body of available research defines a 
profession... for example, we had blacksmiths for thousands of years 
before we had widespread access to formal texts on metallurgy.

Cheers, Andrew

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".

Perhaps I should add that I have also read Richard Saul Wurman's works
as
extensively as they are available. It does not do to overlook the
origins of
information architecture, any more than it does to overlook
cross-disciplinary perspectives.

I wouldn't know.

One day I'm determined to help create the profession of beer making,
basket
weaving and bloodletting.:-)

No, because I try not to think of titles, professions, occupations,

So you make no distinction between an occupation that requires little to
no
training, and an occupation that requires extensive education* or
specialized training*?

Perversely, does this mean you place no value on education or
specialised
training, or even possibly knowledge and curiosity?

e.

* note I'm not suggesting "formal" education or training, let alone such
as
may be qualified by some assigned "standard", just the pursuit of
knowledge
and skill.

Yep, that's what it means, I think people should stay uneducated and

As a graduate student in HCI currently fascinated with (and possibly
soon to be looking for work in) IA, I'd like to dispute this statement
insofar as it applies to HCI. I don't think the problem is that HCI is
usurping IA, more that HCI is (mostly) unaware of IA:

- The most recent CHI conference had six entries containing IA as a
keyword, but most of them came from the design expo, a
practitioner-oriented track. None were full-length research papers.
- Search the CHI archive for "findability", and you will get no
results that are even remotely related to IA.
- Ask your average HCI researcher (well, at least my colleagues :)) if
they are familiar with IA, and you're likely to get either a blank
stare or a response to the effect of "isn't that something web
developers do?"

With respect to the original post, I definitely agree with the
statement "there is a lack of deep IA research" within the research
fields I am familiar with. Some of the reasons for this have already
been pointed out: the fact that the vast majority of IA's are
practitioners who have no time or inclination for research, the fact
that IA has no research forum of its own. I would also add to these a
general lack of awareness in the research community of what IA is,
what value it brings, and what interesting research problems can be
found within it.
