商品描述

Information Architecture is about organizing and simplifying information, designing and integrating information spaces/systems, and creating ways for people to find and interact with information content. Its goal is to help people understand and manage information and make the right decisions accordingly. This updated and revised edition of the book looks at integrated information spaces in the web context and beyond, with a focus on putting theories and principles into practice.

In the ever-changing social, organizational, and technological contexts, information architects not only design individual information spaces (e.g., websites, software applications, and mobile devices), but also tackle strategic aggregation and integration of multiple information spaces across websites, channels, modalities, and platforms. Not only do they create predetermined navigation pathways, but they also provide tools and rules for people to organize information on their own and get connected with others.

Information architects work with multi-disciplinary teams to determine the user experience strategy based on user needs and business goals, and make sure the strategy gets carried out by following the user-centered design (UCD) process via close collaboration with others. Drawing on the authors' extensive experience as HCI researchers, User Experience Design practitioners, and Information Architecture instructors, this book provides a balanced view of the IA discipline by applying theories, design principles, and guidelines to IA and UX practices. It also covers advanced topics such as iterative design, UX decision support, and global and mobile IA considerations. Major revisions include moving away from a web-centric view toward multi-channel, multi-device experiences. Concepts such as responsive design, emerging design principles, and user-centered methods such as Agile, Lean UX, and Design Thinking are discussed and related to IA processes and practices.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

資訊架構是關於組織和簡化資訊、設計和整合資訊空間/系統,以及創造人們尋找和互動資訊內容的方式。其目標是幫助人們理解和管理資訊,並相應地做出正確的決策。這本書的更新和修訂版關注網絡上和其他領域中的整合資訊空間,著重將理論和原則應用於實踐中。

在不斷變化的社會、組織和技術背景下,資訊架構師不僅設計個別的資訊空間(例如網站、軟件應用和移動設備),還處理跨網站、渠道、模式和平台的多個資訊空間的戰略聚合和整合。他們不僅創建預定的導航路徑,還為人們提供工具和規則,讓他們自行組織資訊並與他人聯繫。

資訊架構師與多學科團隊合作,根據用戶需求和業務目標確定用戶體驗策略,並通過與他人的密切合作確保策略得到實施,遵循以用戶為中心的設計(UCD)過程。本書借鑒作者作為人機交互研究人員、用戶體驗設計從業者和資訊架構教師的豐富經驗,通過將理論、設計原則和指南應用於資訊架構和用戶體驗實踐,提供了資訊架構學科的平衡觀點。它還涵蓋了迭代設計、用戶體驗決策支持和全球和移動資訊架構考慮等高級主題。主要修訂包括從以網絡為中心的觀點轉向多渠道、多設備體驗。討論了響應式設計、新興設計原則以及敏捷、精益用戶體驗和設計思維等用戶體驗方法與資訊架構過程和實踐的相關性。
