Tears, Tantrums and Triumphs OZIA 2009 http://www.slideshare.net/ladanwise/tears-tantrums-and-triumphs-ozia-2009
This presentation tracks the 18 month journey (to date) as a large organisation consolidates its 50+ websites into one website and its 40+ intranet sites into one intranet. And it’s not over yet. The organisation chose to recruit UX and IA experts to work within the organisation’s own IA and project team. This case study explores previous (unsuccessful) attempts at the project, the approach taken, activities conducted, the organisation’s climate, and the timing and involvement for each stage. Benefits, challenges and lessons learned are highlighted throughout.]]>

IA Failures in Social Networking Platforms http://www.slideshare.net/facibus/ia-failures-in-social-networking-platforms
Social networking platforms (SNPs) are now an accepted part of personal and professional life. It is a rare IA that does not have some presence on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. The fact remains that many SNPs are not readily usable. If we take the wag’s description of Information Architecture as "finding the stuff and using the stuff", most SNPs fail at least some of the time. This short presentation will pull apart some of the IA failures in popular SNPs and look at how these could be addressed.]]>

Search And Sensibilty Four Tales Of Search http://www.slideshare.net/ScottBryant/search-and-sensibilty-four-tales-of-search-presentation
Search and sensibility: Four tales of search. Presented at OZ-IA Conference, Sydney Sept. 20th 2008 Advanced Session, presented by Louisa Cameron, Angus Fraser, Scott Bryant, Chris Khalil (News Digital Media). With the improved quality and growing user familiarity with search engines, site search is now an integral aspect of the IA for any information-rich website, yet there is more than one kind of site search. Different types of search can evolve to meet the needs of different users in different contexts. The audience will hear about four different search contexts and will be shown how some tailored search mechanisms have been deployed on large commercial websites: Careerone.com.au have conducted research and usability studies to learn about our job seekers and to find out about the unique context of job hunting. TrueLocal.com.au is a local business directory where information is mapped to physical locations. What are the conventions & challenges of “local search”? What do users mean by “here”? What are the differences between web and mobile implementations? Carsguide.com.au realises that searching for cars isn’t easy, particularly if you don’t know anything about cars. Guided search offers a way to assist users to move through the car buying process. We’ll share some insights gained from designing guided search and share the challenges of positioning search and browse. Increasingly search is driving traffic not just to your homepage but also to pages on lower levels of your site. To really harness this traffic it’s important to start treating these lower level pages as mini homepages. News.com.au are doing this by using search to generate contextually relevant links and hence harvest long tail traffic. We will compare and contrast the search experiences offered by these different services and in discussing the issues and considerations behind them reveal some of the lessons learned and offer pointers for improving your own work in search. This will be a group presentation, delivered by four members of the News Digital Media experience architecture team. Each presenter will give a brief outline of the project they worked on, including the lessons learned from an IA practitioner’s perspective.]]>

Presented at OZ-IA Conference, Sydney Sept. 20th 2008 Advanced Session, presented by Louisa Cameron, Angus Fraser, Scott Bryant, Chris Khalil (News Digital Media). With the improved quality and growing user familiarity with search engines, site search is now an integral aspect of the IA for any information-rich website, yet there is more than one kind of site search. Different types of search can evolve to meet the needs of different users in different contexts. The audience will hear about four different search contexts and will be shown how some tailored search mechanisms have been deployed on large commercial websites: Careerone.com.au have conducted research and usability studies to learn about our job seekers and to find out about the unique context of job hunting. TrueLocal.com.au is a local business directory where information is mapped to physical locations. What are the conventions & challenges of “local search”? What do users mean by “here”? What are the differences between web and mobile implementations? Carsguide.com.au realises that searching for cars isn’t easy, particularly if you don’t know anything about cars. Guided search offers a way to assist users to move through the car buying process. We’ll share some insights gained from designing guided search and share the challenges of positioning search and browse. Increasingly search is driving traffic not just to your homepage but also to pages on lower levels of your site.

Information architecture testing - OZIA 2008 presentation http://www.slideshare.net/optimalworkshop/information-architecture-testing-ozia-2008-presentation-presentation
Tree testing and page testing are methods proposed in this presentation to rapidly get to a great information architecture. Card sorting is a great starting point for an IA, but Sam from Optimal Workshop argues that it needs to be part of a greater set of tools and methods. In this presentation to the OZ IA (Australia Information Architects) conference in September 2008, Sam presents some case studies on how tree testing done online (testing the structure and labels of an IA with end users) and page testing (testing individual page mockups) can not only accelerate the design process but provide a higher quality output.]]>

Faceted search is considered an effective interaction model to achieve this. But is this true? With the dominance of Google, it is also easy to conclude that a simple text box search interface is a familiar and intuitive model for users. But is this also true? During this session, we will look at search on drive.com.au as a case study. We’ll discuss the challenges of designing for faceted search and how data from the multivariate testing has helped refine the search experience.]]>
