“Information architecture: a brief tour”
Amanda will introduce the discipline of information
architecture and discuss its relevance to
cataloguing librarians. Information architecture is a developing discipline
that has been defined as the construction of a structure, or the organisation
of information. This includes using taxonomies, tags, faceted classification
and folksonomies. Information architecture is one of the ways that we can start
to deal with the 'unintended consequences of the information age' - information
overload, information anxiety and junk information.
