WIA Cafe: Entering New Information Domains

World Information Architecture Association (WIAA) is hosting this event and the Rutgers MBS program is supporting this event.

The speaker for this interactive event is Angela Madsen. Angela Madsen's introduction to IA was in finding missing books in her college library while studying for an art degree. All the implicit information in that scenario -- information structures, metadata, time-based logs, information gaps, human behavior, design, perception -- have all contributed long-term to how she approaches information design. She's worked as an information architect, UX'er, and content designer.

The talk will focus on the role of an information architect is in building information structures that support findability and the flow of information in systems. We aren't subject experts of the domains in which we work, but experts of how information works. We have to scale learning curves quickly, iteratively, and we can do so leveraging our expertise.
