"Paul Holbrook" points to two outstanding Information Architecture (IA) resources. Paul is a fellow Atlantan and, like me, fairly new to the weblog phenomenon. He has an extensive technology background, having worked on the Xereox Star in the 1980s, and built web server farms for CNN in the 1990s. I only recently began tracking his weblog but already he has pointed me to very informative and helpful resources for KM and klogging. Today he pointed me to two more excellent resources.

This article by Marcia Bates, After the Dot-Bomb: Getting Web Information Retrieval Right This Time explains in plain English seven problems areas with web-based info retrieval. Marcia's background and credentials are impeccable, and her advice invaluable. The added perspective from Louis Rosenfeld is equally valuable. It's stuff like this that makes me long for a copy of Copernic Summarizer.

I would never have discovered either of these subject matter experts on my own. And I've been digging around for days looking for really good material on Information Architecture. If you aren't reading Paul's weblog, you should be.

IR theory and the Net. Lou Rosenfeld builds on an splendid article from First Monday called  "After the Dot-Bomb: Getting Web Information Retrieval Right This Time" by Marcia J. Bates.  Read through Marcia's article, then read Lou's commentary.  Marcia Bates makes reference to several interesting sounding articles that she's written; I'll have to wander over to Georgia Tech's library and see if I can find them.
