From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Findability is a term for the ease with which information contained on a website can be found, both from outside the website (using search engines and the like) and by users already on the website. Although findability has relevance outside the World Wide Web , it is usually used in the context of the web. The popularization of the term "findability" for the Web is usually credited to Peter Morville . In 2005 he defined as: "the ability of users to identify an appropriate Web site and navigate the pages of the site to discover and retrieve relevant information resources", though it appears to have been first coined in a public context referring to the web and information retrieval by Alkis Papadopoullos in an article entitled "Findability": The Key to Enterprise Search.

While some organisations realise that digitisation goes beyond just implementing more and more tools for different purposes, people in touch with an enterprise (a company, a brand, a service etc.) still find themselves dealing with an overwhelming mass of scattered information in disconnected media. Drawing on an IT legacy which concentrated in the past on adding more and more features and data, these systems fall short of making relevant information easy to find, functionality easy to use, and achieving a good overall experience beyond a single medium or tool. This talk will be about architecting information beyond isolated web sites, digital services, or customer experiences.
“I recalled a recent blogpost by Adam Greenfield and I found a clue. I think he, and Peterme, and Lou and Peter Morville… well, we’re all outgrowing our favorite pair of jeans: IA. And the waistband is cutting in badly, but it’s our favorite pair, so of course we’re crabby. We’re all going to stay crabby unless we finally take them out of our “skinny” drawer and give them to goodwill.”
Thoughts on the Impending Death of Information Architecture
Article by: Sam Smith I am a sketcher. I recently realized quite how much sketching defines what I do when someone pointed out to me that I rarely present any work without a pen in my hand. Whether I’m drawing on a whiteboard or quickly sketching on paper sketching that helps me to illustrate what I’m talking about.
