[Sigia-l] Polish IA

[Marcin Roszkowski]

I'm a polish researcher interested in IA and it's connection to Library & Information Science. I vave to say : "there is no scientific approach to IA in Poland". 
The lack of methodology and fundamental definitions prevents develeopment of this, still new in Poland issue. 
I understand fear of criticism when you give your own definitions, but what about progress in science ? 
The phrase "Information Architecture" appears on 65 polish web sites. This is tragedy. The tragedy is also that polish schools of Library & Information Science do not mention about it in their courses, there is usability, web design (?), information needs, information retrieval but any word about IA and those problems are discussed only in few L&IS schools. 
As I said : polish scientific approach to IA doesn't exist. I hope that US experience in training IA will help us to construct a plan for giving life IA in polish L&IS schools.
