Hello everyone!

Just wanted to thank Richard Hill and the team at ASIS for moving so quickly
to establish this IA list. Let's keep the momentum of the meeting going by
sharing our resources!! Perhaps we can start with some introductions and
then post info about books, links, etc. that may be helpful to others.

My name is Angela Picard and I am an entrepreneur who works as a
writer/editor/self-publisher/speaker. I am in career transition to become
an Information Architect. I have developed content for several web sites
and served as a consultant/site evaluator for the following sites:

VitalCast.com - an Alternative Health portal - http://www.vitalcast.com

HIM Recruiters - http://www.himjobs.com

Florida Health Information Management Association - http://www.fhima.org

I discovered the IA profession online in an article on the CNet site at

http://www.builder.com/Authoring/AllAboutIA/?tag=st.cn.sr.bl.1

There is also an IA tutorial by John Shiple at this site -

Somewhere in my explorations I learned about the IA Summit in Boston, which
I attended last weekend, and had the great pleasure of meeting many of you.
So, here are some of the resources I gleamed from the event:
