Information Architecture for the World Wide Web
Not only is this a great book (and almost the definitive reference book on IA now), it was also the inspiration for this afternoon's session (1:30pm-5:50pm) that I facilitated. In one room, all the people interested in the design of the school website argued, discussed, brainstormed, and wrote lots of post-its on audiences, goals, structure, content and so on, and spent even more time moving the post-its around to try to develop a sensible, accessible, understandable approach to the structure of the school's website.
A number of things came out of the session, not least an emerging consensus about the approach, but also an understanding how this sort of group and breakout work can put a process and structure onto a set of activities that can then be made more creative and more productive. And we had fun.
