“Effective information architects make the complex clear; they make the information understandable to other human beings. If they succeed in doing that, they’re good information architects. If they fail, they’re not.” – Information Anxiety 2 by Richard Wurman

Purchase Richard’s book Information Anxiety 2 or read a select chapter from the book for his thoughts on how information architects can open themselves to being able to explain information to others.

1. Information architecture is at the very center of the electronic information storm
2. Great information architecture leads the site to behave as the visitor expects
3. User experience is the summation of considerations across UX disciplines
4. Findability precedes usability. You can’t use what you can’t find.
5. Design is more than the aesthetic. Design is fundamentally more.
