Call for Papers" Special Topic Issue of JASIS_
INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE
The next Special Topics Issue of the Journal of the American Society for
Information Science (JASIS) is scheduled to come out in Mid 2001 on the
topic of INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE. The guest editors for this special issue
will Andrew Dillon of Indiana University and David Blair of the University
of Michigan.
Information architecture has recently emerged as an important
meta-discipline concerned with the design, implementation, and maintenance
of digital information spaces for human access, navigation and use. Though
the interest is new, the term has been used for several years to describe
the mix of competencies required to produce information resources that
enhance human abilities to explore and locate information. In this special
issue we invite authors to examine this topic in an original and challenging
manner. We do not seek rigid definitions or demand adherence to a fixed view
of what information architecture means. Instead, we invite both short and
full-length contributions that can help shape our understanding of IA,
explore the role IA may play in information systems design, challenge our
thinking about information design, and even question the need for such a
meta-discipline.
Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Information Architecture as a new and original field
Case studies of Information Architecture in practice
The history, origins and future of IA
Techniques and methods for IA practitioners
Empirical studies of the IA process or user-based analyses of information
architectures
Education and training of information architects
