Hi Everyone, I thought this might be of interest to some of you. Cheers, Leo ---------- >Information architecture for websites: its more than "look and feel" > >Elaine Toms, SLIS and Ruth Blades, KnowledgeHouse. > >The visual appeal and impact of a website is but one aspect of website >design. People need to do things like find information, purchase a product >or submit an assignment to a professor. How well (or if) they accomplish >those depends on three things: > a) how the information is organized and labelled, > b) the types of navigational aids provided for users. This, in essence, >means how to make your site 'smelly' and how to leave breadcrumbs so that >users can find their way around the website, and > c) the types of access tools and search aids which enable users to dive >down through the labyrinth website structure. > >Using examples from the web, this talk will provide guidelines about how to >design an appropriate information architecture for a website. Whether you >are designing a site for your course, your program or department, this talk >offers solid advice on good information architecture. > >This session, which is open to the public, is part of the Dalhousie >University School of Library and Information Studies participation in >Information Week. It is being held on "IT Monday", April 3rd, 2000, >3:30-4:30pm in the MacMechan Auditorium. > _____________________________ Leo J.
