Networking Guide
We have created a networking guide to help people interested in the field of IA and IAI members answer questions about...
- Who's an IA?
- What's behind local groups?
- How do IAs network and collaborate?
- What initiatives are currently running?
- How can I join in the initiatives?
- What's the workflow of the translation initiative for example?
- How do existing Tools and platforms support me in network and collaboration?

Discuss IA
Information architects tend to be opinionated and gregarious, especially on internet discussion forums where they can ask and answer questions, learn about upcoming conferences and F2F meetings.
The IA Institute hosts four great list resources. The members discussion list, job board postings list, a meta list for discussing IAI operations and a public newsletter. These lists are a benefit to IAI members and a great reason to join.
Learn more about our IAI Member Email Lists.
The IA Institute lists are only a few of the many places that IAs are getting together online to discuss IA. Our members also participate with a number of discussion lists and blogs hosted by related organizations and affinity groups. Here is a small sample of online communities which in turn link to many other resources.
- IA Slash is a news site for information architects that encourages comments and postings from readers
- Blogs (chronological records of thoughts and links) written by information architects, listed in our library (additional blog listings can be found at the IA Wiki
- >CHI-WEB is a human factors discussion list with a growing roster of IA subscribers.
- IxDA Discussis sponsored by The Interaction Design Association (IxDA).
- SIGIA-L is an open, active mailing list hosted by the American Society for Information Science and Technology (ASIST). A searchable archive is also available
