RE: SIGIA-L: Library for Information Architects Summary

Hi - another compilation I learned about through Current Cites...
Withers, Rob, et. al. [35]"Information Architecture: Tools for
Cutting-Edge Web Developers" [36]College & Research Libraries News
61(9) (October 2000): (http://www.ala.org/acrl/resoct00.html). - For
the budding information architect, or the experienced web manager,
this piece covers some essential web sites, electronic discussions,
and other information resources on IA and methods for creating dynamic
web content. Under the misleading heading "dynamic scripting
languages", they list resources on that topic as well as databases,
web application servers, and an open source integrated library system
project (it appears as if the main criteria for inclusion was that the
project be free, open source, or both, since only one commercial web
application server is mentioned -- Cold Fusion -- when most people are
more likely to have Microsoft's Active Server Pages at their
disposal). Despite the lack of comprehensitivity, the resources cited
here are clearly central to any full-bore web manager or information
architect. Those who aren't quite ready to tackle Perl or PHP can
stick to the first part of the piece, which focuses on resources of
more general interest. - [37]RT

Thank you again for your responses to my question
about what materials you would want in an IA library.
Following is a summary of the responses that I

required reading for IA's so as not to duplicate
further - thank you for re-posting that information!)
