-- BOXES AND ARROWS -- http://www.boxesandarrows.com/

Two good recent Boxes and Arrows articles:

1) Happy Birthday B&A
"Welcome to Boxes and Arrows...wait, is it a year
already? Holy cow! Well, happy anniversary! I am
incredibly proud and amazed at what this little zine
has accomplished in providing a space for information
sharing. A quick look around reveals that we've got 111
articles, 84 authors, and already over 1,149 comments
at the time of this writing."

2) IA Library Quick Reference: Special Deliverable #7
"In this column, you¹ll find an overview of three IA
books from a deliverables point of view. The purpose of
this article is not to say whether one book is better
than another, or even to comment on the overall quality
of the books, but to provide a guide to what kind of
deliverables information you can find in each book, and
where."

An oldie-but-goodie from the ACIA:

The Ethics of Information Architecture
Are you aware that the practice of information
architecture is riddled with powerful moral dilemmas?
Do you realize that decisions about labeling and
granularity can save or destroy lives? Have you been
designing ethical information architectures?
