IAwiki: TechniquesForIA
For those with a deeper interest in the information architecture approach, this IA wiki is a good repository of information and pointers to useful materials and tools. In the workshop I ran on Monday, we took a structured approach with mind-mapping, affinity grouping and so on, but we could have used card sorting and other techniques too. I've just downloaded a card sorting tool which may help in resolving some key issues identified in the workshop - we'll see. Donna Maurer (via Silvie) has produced a list of card sorting tools, though I find the best approach is to do it with post-it notes and sheets of A0 paper - and photograph the results. The sheets are currently clustered in my office, making a takeover bid..... BoxesandArrows has the definitive card sorting description.
