Learning to be an information architect

This article describes a recently introduced module at University
College Dublin School of Information and Library Studies (SILS),
entitled Information Architecture: Designing the Web. The module
provides students with a realistic experience of how information
architects apply their skills to produce usable web sites, via a project
to produce a documented Virtual Research Environment for information
architecture researchers. The article discusses the importance of both
information architecture and Virtual Research Environments to LIS
education and explains how the module achieves its aims.
