Great 2nd Edition Update
This is a great book to introduce business people to information architecture, for architects to reinforce their skills, and for web designers to principles to apply to site design. The second edition has more information and is more in depth than the first, and is well worth purchasing. The first three chapters of the book explore what information architecture is...

hors d'oeuvre
In an e-world crowded by a cobweb of sites, one could surely do with some information architecture. This book is the first step toward understanding the importance of IA in the success of a site. The most endearing part about the book is the fact that the authors have not overlooked the practical difficulties. It's easy to preach theory, it's darned difficult to put it...

Great 2nd Edition Update, Jui 22 2003
This is a great book to introduce business people to information architecture, for architects to reinforce their skills, and for web designers to principles to apply to site design. The second edition has more information and is more in depth than the first, and is well worth purchasing. The first three chapters of the book explore what information architecture is and what it is needed. Chapters 4 - 9, the "Basic Principles of Information Architecture" have the most substance. Several chapters bear reading several times, including: Chapter 5: Organization Systems, Chapter 7: Navigation Systems, Chapter 8: Search Systems and Chapter 9: Thesauri, Controlled Vocabularies, and Metadata The sections on Process and Methodologyactice, and Organizational fit are all good for people learning about IA, but may be too basic for anyone that does a lot of work or reading in the field. The Education Chapter is already out of date, which is to be expected. IA for the World Wide Web is a great book, worth reading and worth hanging onto for reference or to use to explain the IA to others.

Great foundational piece!, Mars 29 2002
Rosenfeld and Morville's book makes, perhaps, its greatest contribution by presenting its potentially intimidating subject in a way that makes it accessible to virtually any reader. This is no small task and speaks as much about the authors' gift for writing as it does about their technical knowledge. In my office, this book has become foundational reading and I recommend it highly to colleagues or anyone interested in the presentation of information through the web.

Heavy-duty Web design, Nov. 10 2001
This book presents a thorough introduction to the concept of information architecture for Websites. Written by librarians who specialize in information retrieval, this book explains why some sites are easy to navigate and others are impossible. It explains the steps necessary to plan the architecture of a Website, especially a large Website that will be created by a team of people rather than an individual. The authors suggest techniques for making clear to clients the importance of information architecture before work on the site actually begins. The book covers navigation systems and labeling systems (choosing useful names for links). It also contains a very thought-provoking chapter on search systems and factors that a Web manager should consider before choosing or building a search engine for a site. I would recommend this book to anyone in charge of planning or maintaining Websites, especially large Websites.

Still handy, and still unique, Sep 24 2001
There's a reason all the famous web-design folks recommend this book. It's still about the only book that addresses the design of _information_, and it still does the job very well.O'Reilly has become justifiably famous with its user-friendly technical volumes, but this one is a bit of a departure. There isn't anything in here about how to code anything; there are no handy lists of functions or commands for easy reference. What there is is a thorough, focused but wide-ranging discussion of the issues facing someone who wants to make electronic information usable and accessible via a website. (That includes database design, by the way. There isn't all that much detail and it's in the context of making websites searchable, but there's good discussion of e.g. controlled-vocabulary terms and how users actually look for information.) The overall approach is refreshingly big-picture: the authors emphasize, for example, navigation _systems_ and labelling _systems_ (rather than just "labels"), and they devote an entire chapter to "conceptual design." No wonder, three and a half years after its initial publication, it's still the standard reference work in a field that usually puts books out of date overnight. And no wonder Jakob Nielsen thinks well enough of it to write the foreword. If you know who Nielsen is, you probably already have this book; but since none of the information on this page credits his contribution, it can't hurt to let readers know. Ostensibly devoted to websites but generally applicable to any context in which electronic information has to be organized, this book should be somewhere on the shelf of every IT professional. If you like Steve Krug's _Don't Make Me Think!_ (as I do), you'll like this one too -- maybe better. (Krug's book is a good one to show your boss; this is a good one to read whether your boss sees it or not.)

A good resource, Mai 25 2001
There are not that many titles covering information architecture. This is surprising if one considers how many web sites are poorly organised and constructed. The book is mainly about the organisation of information. Graphic artists and programmers will be disappointed, but people who are interested in designing usable websites for real people, should find this book valuable. The book is presented as an introduction. To get deeper into any of the subjects covered, the reader will have to follow it up with other resources.

Excellent ideas on IA, Mai 13 2001
This is another example of a book I wished I'd known about a year or so ago. I'm an amateur web designer and up until just recently maintained web sites for three different volunteer groups. Now one of them has decided to get another person to run the site. If I'd known about the concepts presented in this book, I might still be running it! The book discusses how to organize the content on a wbe site and covers a lot of areas the average site designer might not consider on first glance. There's nothing more frustrating than being in the "middle" of a site and "getting lost" with no way out other than to start over. While this is an extreme example, too many sites suffer from navigational problems.This book offers choices on how to organize the information on your site, various ways to design it, the types of systems you can use to search for specific data on the site, researching and planning it (with a great outline on what you should include in your research), and the business of creating and maintaining your design. The book's authors stress the importance of keeping everyone in the process involved in it at all times, as well as pointing out that just because you finally finished it does not mean your job is over! There's always the job of keeping the site as current as possible. Anyone responsible for maintaining a site (even if it's just your own) should take a look through this book.

You cannot design good web sites without this book, Avril 5 2001
Louis and Peter defined what it means to be an information architect. And this book makes it very clear that good Web sites must be architected, not simply designed and not simply coded. It is a shame, really, that the term "designer" has been appended to the word "Web" to mean anyone who has ever written any HTML. Hogwash. The creation of great Web pages is not random and is not done by one person. This book lays out the role of the person, called the information architect, who determines the structure of a site and how the visitor to the site will reach the bits they want. Once the IA is done, visual designers, developers, and other team members can implement this architecture. The two of them, through their former company Argus Associates, and through the Argus Center for Information Architecture, have forced the Web disciplines to evolve and to confront what lack of good architecture and design creates.

The book was lacking, Janv. 9 2001
Par Un client
I don't know if it was just me but I didn't get the point of the book. The authors mainly introduced a bunch of concepts but they didn't do anything with them. It also seemed like the book was used for telling us why IAs are so great. I agree but I didn't buy the book for that. Disappointing since I was looking forward to reading the book.
