Information Architecture
Information architecture (IA) is far more challenging—
and necessary—than ever. With the glut of information
available today, anything your organization wants to
share should be easy to find, navigate, and understand.
But the experience you provide has to be familiar and
coherent across multiple interaction channels, from
the Web to smartphones, smart watches, and beyond.
To guide you through this broad ecosystem, this popular
guide—now in its fourth edition—provides essential
concepts, methods, and techniques for digital design
that have withstood the test of time. UX designers,
product managers, developers, and
anyone
involved in
digital design will learn how to create semantic structures
that will help people engage with your message.

Praise for This Book
By the time I’d finished reading—devouring, actually—the first edition
of
IAftWWW
in 1998, the pages were—literally—dripping yellow
highlighter ink. I don’t think I’ve ever learned as much from another
book. And now with Jorge’s help, Lou and Peter have pulled off another
remarkable feat: they’ve taken a groundbreaking book written for a
world that’s being replaced by another one with head-spinning speed
(do they still even make highlighter pens?) and reinvented it
brilliantly, proving that the principles they made so clear in
the first place are still...the important principles.

Don’t Make Me Think:
A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability
I was one of the rare people with the job title “information architect”

a meaningful validation of my work, and I feel no less so about seeing
the fourth edition come out. Nearly 20 years later, information

than ever, and so is this book.

The Web isn’t just for browsers anymore. It’s the thread tying our digital
lives together. That’s just one lesson from this essential classic, reframed
and renewed for our omni-channel, internet-of-everything age. If
you’ve never read it, now is the time. And if you think you know it
already, you’re definitely due for an update.

Awesome to see this canonical IA textbook updated with an eye towards
cross-channel information architecture. Jorge Arango was the perfect
third author to add a perspective from the emerging new school of IA.
Kudos to O’Reilly for realizing the need to
bring this important book back into the conversation.
—Abby Covert,
president of the IA Institute
I’m fascinated by the ways that imprimatur corresponds with
permission. The fact that O’Reilly continues to deepen its investment in
IA by way of this fourth update to the polar bear book gives all of us
permission to continue being curious about and building skills around
IA. If this stuff weren’t important, or used to be but is no longer a thing,
or was just a subset of UX, why bother with another edition?
I’ll tell you why: because it is impossible to know what “good” means in
design without the frameworks for understanding provided by and
through the process of information architecture.
This book helps you get there.
—Dan Klyn,
cofounder and information architect,
The Understanding Group
Once again, the polar bear book proves just how vital information
architecture is to how we design interactive products and services. This
book offers a fresh look at a fundamental topic.
It’s timeless, definitive, and indispensable.”

The polar bear book has always been my go-to recommendation for a
solid introduction to information architecture for the Web. With the
new material now included on mobile, meaning-making, system design,
and the importance of context—as well as updates to the fundamentals
of IA—this is the first book I recommend to anyone involved in
designing electronic information spaces of any kind.

The fourth edition of a book that almost twenty years ago changed the
way we work with information is a slimmer, more compact, and more
focused read that takes us all the way from the Web to the ever-
expanding world of cross-channel design.
