This document discusses information architecture (IA) for UX. It begins by defining IA as making information findable and understandable. It then discusses the problems IA solves, such as information overload and ensuring users know where to go next. The document outlines different organization systems like location, alphabet, time, category, and hierarchy. It also covers navigation systems including global, local, and contextual navigation. Other topics include labeling systems, search systems, content inventory, card sorting exercises, sitemaps, task/user flows, and ways to validate the IA like tree testing and reverse card sorting. The document appears to be notes from a ProductSchool course on information architecture.

“If you’ve ever tried to use something and thought,
“where am I supposed to go next?” or “this doesn’t
make any sense,” you are encountering an issue with
an information architecture.”
