Some Web sites "work" and some don't. Good Web site consultants know that you can't just jump in and start writing HTML, the same way you can't build a house by just pouring a foundation and putting up some walls. You need to know who will be using the site, and what they'll be using it for. You need some idea of what you'd like to draw their attention to during their visit. Overall, you need a strong, cohesive vision for the site that makes it both distinctive and usable. Information Architecture for the World Wide Web is about applying the principles of architecture and library science to Web site design. Each Web site is like a public building, available for tourists and regulars alike to breeze through at their leisure. The job of the architect is to set up the framework for the site to make it comfortable and inviting for people to visit, relax in, and perhaps even return to someday. Most books on Web development concentrate either on the aesthetics or the mechanics of the site. This book is about the framework that holds the two together. With this book, you learn how to design Web sites and intranets that support growth, management, and ease of use. Special attention is given to: The process behind architecting a large, complex site Web site hierarchy design and organization Techniques for making your site easier to search Information Architecture for the World Wide Web is for Webmasters, designers, and anyone else involved in building a Web site. It's for novice Web designers who, from the start, want to avoid the traps that result in poorly designed sites. It's for experienced Web designers who have already created sites but realize that something "is missing" from their sites and want to improve them. It's for programmers and administrators who are comfortable with HTML, CGI, and Java but want to understand how to organize their Web pages into a cohesive site. The authors are two of the principals of Argus Associates, a Web consulting firm. At Argus, they have created information architectures for Web sites and intranets of some of the largest companies in the United States, including Chrysler Corporation, Barron's, and Dow Chemical.

In Kapitel Sechs von Information Architecture for the World Wide Web diskutieren die Autoren die Einzelheiten eines guten Designs für Suchmaschinen. In einem bissig humorvollen Abschnitt analysieren sie die Suchergebnisse einer Web-Site: "Nehmen wir mal an, Sie möchten wissen, wie hoch die Umsatzsteuer in New Jersey ist... Also gehen Sie auf die Web-Site des Bundesstaats New Jersey und suchen nach Umsatzsteuer. Die 20 Ergebnisse werden entweder als 84%-Treffer oder als 82%-Treffer ausgewiesen. Warum werden alle Dokumente mit einer dieser beiden Prozentangaben angezeigt? ...Und was macht ein Dokument ausgerechnet um 2% relevanter als ein anderes?"

Schnell und überzeugend nehmen die Autoren von Information Architecture for the World Wide Web viele der vorherrschenden Ideen über Webdesign auseinander. Blinkende Animationen sind schick, aber nur solange sie den Betrachter nicht irritieren. Flotte, anklickbare Icons sind schön und gut, aber sind sie auch universell bedeutsam? Liefert die Suchmaschine nützliche und relevante Ergebnisse? Dieses Buch funktioniert wie ein Spiegel und regt den Leser mit vorsichtigen Fragen dazu an, alle Elemente und Entscheidungen, die für ein gutes Webdesign nötig sind, noch einmal zu überdenken. --Jennifer Buckendorff

This book may be OK if you've just been put in charge of an intranet and have never used the web before. If you have spent more than a week surfing the internet in your life, you will feel, as I did, that this book states and restates the blindingly obvious ad nauseum. I actually failed to finish this book, I found it so terribly dry and unenlightening. Another thing that really bugs me about it is that the authors pose question after question, but never really supply an answer. Sometimes they make tentative suggestions that this-may-work-then, but never many good examples. They also reference screenshots of one little area of a given website, but this doesn't work because (if you believe the basic premise of the book) a website is a coherent item, not a distinct set of pages. Therefore highlighting specific elements of a website out of context is meaningless. Better spend your time surfing the web and thinking for yourself why some sites work and some don't.

This book is amazing. Each chapter succinctly describes the key attributes of good "Information Architecture" - what it is and what it is not. It does involve navigation but not the content. It does involve labeling but not very much creative design.
Especially useful for consultants - sample questions and worksheets to give clients to help you get a better understanding of what they want and help them understand your role?
They show you examples of sites that have bad navigation, labeling etc. and examples of good sites too.
It contains a lot of useful usability information - why frames are bad etc.
Also at this price every web programmer/designer should have a copy.

I'm quarter way through this book. Some things have been pleasing, like reading that they find flashing gifs everywhere annoying, and I use these to show my clients that my original gut-feeling was right (they had a few and I said 'lose them'). But really its like applied common sense. Of course people like the powerful facilities at hand etc. I found most of what I'm reading covered on two twenty minute chats with Drue Miller on webmonkey radio

This book can easily be divided into 2 sections. The first is an overview of how and why information is organized. The second is how to apply that information when planning and designing a large website. To the author's credit, they took a potentially dull topic and actually made it interesting. I would have appreciated less background and theory and more practical advise on how to plan a website though. There are some gems in this book, but you really have to dig to find them. Since there is really no "hands on" advise this is a good book to read while traveling. If your designing a large enterprise website you would be wise to read at least the second half of this book...especially if you are in management.

This book contains some great information for the initial architecture of a site, however, if you are not a librarian by trade the overwhelming references to this profession become extremely annoying.
The basic info also seems to ramble on and get restated rather than expounded upon. Overall the book does hit on some interesting point, but the lessons could have been condensed and more case studies could have been added.

I know that the Lynch and Horton (Web Style Guide) book is slightly different in it's thrust, but I think it's better at the overall delivery of information architecture and web design theory and practice. It's highly professional and stands out from all the fluff-guides to web design. Then again, Rosenfeld and Morville do take a unique library science perspective that is one of a kind (if not a bit chatty). Guess it's good to own both books.

Overall, this book is good beginning read in the field of information architecture. For anyone interested in the topic, my recommendation would be to do additional reading. The authors provide an excellent bibliography at the end of the book which could serve as an excellent point of departure for the student of IA.
As far as the readibility of the book is concerned, it is easy to read although the authors bear responsibility for poor grammar and sentence structure in certain parts of the book. It is my opinion that this doesn't make the book less valuable as a resource.
A couple of other points about the book that bear mention. The authors used the example of the Henry Ford Health System Web site throughout the book. This is a great example. There are a few other examples used in the book However, I think the authors could have provided even more examples. My recommendation for the authors would be to provide the public with a second, more detailed edition. Remember this book was published in early 1998. We've come a long way since then and the web is replete with examples of good architecture.
Overall: Thumbs Up!

The good stuff was spelling some things out to explain to people what Information Architecture is. Explaining which professions bring different dishes to the information table. The bad parts. 1. Interesting Reading in some places, boring in others. A better book to pick out what you need, rather than read cover to cover. 2.As a degreed librarian, I must take issue with their treatment of librarians. The authors feel anyone can do what we do. NOT SO! Useful to have at your side if you are a starting Information Architect. Authors could have been a touch more sensitive.
