>I would appreciate any information / references about Information
>Architecture Education, as well as syllabus and recommended textbooks for
>introductory courses.

an extensive though not comprehensive list of courses is available at 

     http://IAwiki.net/DegreeInIA

It includes degree courses, non-degree courses, related courses, and 
courses from fields afar like South Australia.

Discussion of some syllabi is at

     http://IAwiki.net/DegreeInIA/Syllabus

When it came to doing the google searches for some of the original links, 
one of the tricks* I used was to include the phrase "recommended 
reading". This found lots of courses which had recommended reading lists.

e.

* another trick I use when searching and getting too many results is to 
include "bibliography" to narrow the field, although I'm not specifically 
interested in bibliographies as such. This is a search for an "attribute 
of the common form of the desired content", as distinct from a search for 
"keywords of the desired content". Does anyone else do this?

** another trick: limit your searches to the .edu domain to get back much 
meatier mentions than what you'll find in the majority of .com domains. 
Especially appropriate for your query, Luz.
