Amanda,

Could you share some pointers to good records management overviews or
introductory articles that might be useful for IAs? Thanks!

Hi Naomi

Functional classification and the associated vocabulary is a very commonly
used strategy for records management. There is a great deal in the records
management literature about functional classification, with vocabulary as an
aspect of this.

Two examples of thesauri/CV
NZGLS thesauri 
http://www.e-government.govt.nz/nzgls/thesauri/index.asp which are NZ
products, used by the e-government portal and government departments for
their metadata. One is the Functions of NZ, the other the Subjects of NZ,
and they are designed to work together.

[Sigia-l] Survey about online technical communication curriculum

The Masters of Science in Technical Communication Program at the University
of Colorado - Denver is doing a study to determine the feasability of
offering some or most of its curriculum via online format. The survey
consists of 9 questions. We ask you to take a few minutes to complete this
survey so that we may better develop our curriculum. The information
gathered from this survey will be used solely for the purpose of determining
whether and in what format our program might offer courses online and will
NOT be used for any other purpose. The survey may be accessed at
http://comm.cudenver.edu/mstcsurvey.html

All the best,
John

If you don't mind my asking, what was the impetus behind this thought?

[Sigia-l] Webby Award

The folks I've been working with at the National Cancer Institute
(http://www.cancer.gov) just won a Webby Award for the Government category:

	http://www.webbyawards.com/webbys/current.php
	
This comes on top of the 2004 Freddie Award for Best International Health
and Medical Media Site and ascent to the top of the American Customer
Satisfaction Index for E-Government. In my opinion, this success is due to a
great team of people at NCI who are seriously committed to making their
valuable content more accessible by working hard on information
architecture, findability, and user experience design. I'm not sure I've
ever had a client who took IA, UX, and findability so much to heart, and it
seems to be paying off. Cheers!

The operative word is "improve" and it depends where you're sitting. The
thing about established news outlets is that they are easy to get to,
have their own domains names, etc. That lesser-known or ad-hoc sources
do not have these attributes is a reason to use Google to search them
out. If Google skews results in favour of the big guys, then one of the
reasons to use Google to search for news is removed.

If Google goes go through with this then it'll shift more power to the
blogsphere I think.

[Sigia-l] WAP accessibility

Hi,
Does anybody know of any WAP accessibility guidelines? I'm taking on the 
challenge of designing a usable WAP interface, and have scoured the 
internet for resources, but wanted to make sure I didn't leave any 
stones unturned. Any help on or off-line is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Julie
