[Sigia-l] Information Architecture and Usability Professions

[Stanley, Niki]

Hi everyone, 

As an information architect, are you typically responsible for usability
testing and other evaluations (if so, at what stages?) or is there a
clear division between information architect duties and usability
specialist duties? 

I know there are some folks who firmly believe the two should be
separate - that an information architect cannot objectively evaluate
his/her own work for usability. 

Thanks for your insight!
