Anyone wishing to learn the craft of information architecture is encouraged to pursue a variety of educational possibilities, including books, internships, practice, online communities, and formal study. Studies of human-computer interaction, library & information science, knowledge management, and social informatics are also relevent to IA training. The IA Library provides pointers to some of the best articles, books, blogs, and web sites on the subject. In addition, our IA Tools section contains document templates, process map posters and other tools used by IA practioners. Finally, the IA Glossary defines terms relevant to the practice.
Even though information architecture is a young field, Universities have initiated degree programs and classes on both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Also, the Institute plans to create a recommended curriculum for IA courses and programs.
