Check Out findability.org

May 21, 2004 - 6:42pm — Blake

Peter Morville (you may know him from such websites as semanticstudios.com and such books as Information Architecture for the World Wide Web) dropped us a note announcing his new website findability.org.
The website is a "selective, seriously incomplete, and perpetually evolving collection of links to people, software, organizations, and content related to findability.

What is findability?
Findability refers to the quality of being locatable or navigable. At the item level, we can evaluate to what degree a particular object is easy to discover or locate. At the system level, we can analyze how well a physical or digital environment supports navigation and retrieval.

Check it out at http://findability.org/, even though LISNews isn't listed in the Libraries & Literacy Section it's still a great site.
