The St. Louis Group for Information Architecture will be holding its December meeting on Thursday, December 6. The meeting will convene at 7 p.m. at the offices of XPLANE (809 Geyer Avenue in the Soulard neighborhood). After IA-related discussion, the meeting will most likely move across the street to Norton’s again. Attendance is open to all. The topic for this month’s meeting is “Incorporating Information Architecture Concepts Into Your Job Role.” It will introduce IA to those not familiar with it, and focus on how concepts and ideas can be applied by those who aren’t “information architects” by trade. Attendees are asked to review the following two links before the meeting (it shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes), as these will provide the initial basis for discussion:

“Unless you have the power to make business and development decisions for your project, some of your energy will be spent influencing those that do. Experienced usability engineers or interaction designers may have limited skill in influence, despite how significantly it can effect their ability to contribute to projects. It’s the smartest and most effective designers that work to understand the human to human interaction within their project teams, as part of their work towards better human to computer interaction.”

“Web-site designers should understand their users’ way of thinking, introduce them to content they didn’t know they were looking for, and — most of all — keep them from using the search function, according to a report released on Monday by Web research firm User Interface Engineering.”
