“…Web statistics and analytics can also provide supplementary data to get a better picture of user behavior. It is also apparent that card sorting can help develop a site's information architecture (Faiks, 2000; Duncan and Holliday, 2008). These are but some of the variables that should be considered when creating a user‐centered library web site.…”

“…Dillion notes that information architecture is the “process of designing, implementing and evaluating information spaces that are humanly and socially acceptable to their intended stakeholders” (as cited by Duncan and Holliday, 2008). In the case of the City Tech library's web site, our shareholders consist of our community of students, faculty, and staff members.…”

PurposeThis paper aims to describe the process, testing, and data analysis of redesigning a library's homepage to create a more user‐centered experience.Design/methodology/approachA survey and a usability test were conducted to collect data on users' interactions. The goals were to make design changes catered to users' needs, prior to migrating the site to a content management system.FindingsRecommendations are made to improve the usability of the Ursula C. Schwerin library homepage, as well as considerations for future testing.Originality/valueThis case study will be useful for librarians and web programmers implementing usability tests for the first time. It will also be useful for those focusing on developing a more user‐centered homepage.

“…For example, Rosenfeld and Morville (1998) see the dynamic due to furthered the information design to enrich the static data structure focusing on World Wide Web (Rosenfeld and Morville, 1998). With the increasing dynamic requirements, researchers begin to focus on IA framework to demands under di®erent situations (Campbell et al, 1994;Duncan and Holliday, 2008;Henderson et al, 2003;Riva and Rodriguez, 2002). From the time trend, it shows that increasing attention has been focused on dynamic aspects in terms of the changeable and situational environment, as for example the structure or design of the environment with the information collection, and information exchange (Campbell and Hummel, 1998;Evernden and Evernden, 2003;Linnell et al, 2005;Sowa and Zachman, 1992).…”

The struggle for commercial supremacy through information is being fought on two points: Information management and enabling technologies. Over the last years, there has been an increasing focus on information architecture (IA) to help organisations distinguish and manage information as corporate resource. As the information complexity increases, more IA studies show that IA could provide the structural and process design to facilitate enterprise interoperation under the information sharing environment. However, limited IA has been addressed for the usage of managing the information sharing. Motivated by this observation, this paper presents a literature review that IA can be used to understand and manage information sharing, utilising the enterprise information resource statically and dynamically through IA implementation. First, enterprise IA description and de¯nition are presented. Second, we analyse IA from a static and dynamic view to reveal the research streams on an architectural approach for information sharing management. Third, contributions and limitations are discussed. It is¯nally concluded by providing future IA research directions and implications for empirical applications. Our research illustrates that IA deployment imposes a positive in-°u ence on information sharing management.

“…Researchers initially identify and employ the need for flexible IA in considering of the dynamic information environment. With the increasing dynamic requirements, researchers begin to focus on IA framework to demands under different situations (Campbell and Hummel, 1998, Duncan and Holliday, 2008, Ray et al, 2003, Riva and Rodriguez, 2002. From the time trend, it shows increasing attention on dynamic aspects in terms of the changeable and situational environment, as for example the structure or design of the environment with the data collection, data exchange.…”

In inter-organizational service (IOS) system, the quality of information exchanged and shared by involved organizations is important. Although information quality (IQ) has been emphasized for decades, IQ problems still widely exist. For a significant class of information related to semantic issues, it is necessary to improve information quality not just by working on the information/data itself. However, this is not commonly understood and often leaves little doubt about the effectiveness of the current approach. We consequently propose an architectural approach to enhance IQ for IOS: enterprise-level information architecture allows a rich contextual environment to guarantee IQ, and provides a traceable path to measure IQ across organizations. It is demonstrated in an emergency medical service enterprise.438 Xie S. and Helfert M.. AN ARCHITECTURAL APPROACH TO ANALYZE INFORMATION QUALITY FOR INTER-ORGANIZATIONAL SERVICE.
