Reading IA books plants the IA seed


Professional IA Development—
IA Books & Corporate Training Books That I Read




I find the Baroque period of architecture quite interesting. I find these links relevant: architectural history, architectural timeline, architecture, mapping class group, and mathematics.

Design patterns for information architecture with DITA map domains by Lead DITA Architect, IBM.

Digital Web Magazine—Articles by Topic: Information Architecture by different authors.

An online resource for Web standards. This includes many code validation tools and guides for future Web development trends by the World Wide Web Consortium.

An industry publication with over 180 articles; many articles on the topic of information architecture by Boxes and Arrows.

The Information Architecture Summit holds an annual summit for information architects. Sponsored by the American Society for Information Science and Technology.

Below is a partial list of books I read about IA and other relevant topics related to IA—to keep myself informed.
