[Sigia-l] Survey of information architects: Roles, skills and job characteristics

[Bill Kules]

Dear colleague,

We need your help!  We are conducting a survey regarding job
characteristics, skills, and roles of practicing Information
Architects to understand how IA professionals view their day-to-day
practice of Information Architecture (IA). The results of this survey
will help us to better understand the evolving field of IA.  Also,
educators in professional LIS (and related programs) will benefit as
they seek to prepare students to be IAs.

I hope you can spend 15 minutes to complete the survey by Friday,
April 29. Your participation in the survey is voluntary. Your personal
contact information and survey responses will be kept confidential.

Please complete the survey at:

The survey data collection methodology will ensure that individual
participants cannot be identified. Your personal information will not
be stored or directly connected in any way with the answers you
provide. The survey will be configured to prevent reporting of IP
addresses. Moreover, the subject of the research involves perceptions
of job characteristics for Information Architects, not personal
information. This survey has been approved by the Institutional Review
Board at The Catholic University of America (IRB #11-031).

If you have questions about this study, please contact me, Bill Kules

Thank you for sharing your valuable time and participating in this study.

Sincerely,
Bill Kules, Ph.D.
