Abstract

This book is a practical guide to some of the common problems associated with Intranets, and solutions to those problems. The book takes a unique end-user perspective an the role of intranets within organisations. It explores how the needs of the end-user very often conflict with the needs of the organisation, creatiog a confusion of purpose that impedes the success of intranet. It sets out clearly why intranets cannot be thought of as merely internal Internets, and require their own management strategies and approaches. The book draws an a wide range of examples and analogies from a variety of contexts to set-out in a clear and concise way the issues at the heart of failing intranets. It presents step-by-step solutions with universal application. Each issue discussed is accompanied by short practical suggestions for improved intranet design and architecture.

Content

Key Features e Jargon-free and aimed at information professionals with sole/mixed responsibilities - Draws many examples from broader library management contexts - Clearly distinguishes between intranet and Internet technologies Readership Information professionals with primary/ secondary responsibility for Intranets or Intranet sites within an organisation. Library managers and directors. Contents Introduction Why users behave irrationally - user expectations; the information skills deficit (and surplus); pattern recognition and false superstitions (how the brain builds relationships between ideas; hypertext; weIl-worn paths and habitual information seeking behaviour; how intranets stifle users); expectations of failure Why organisations behave irrationally - competing perspectives; organisational expectations; organisational structure and information ownership; the information wasteland; why Intranets are not IT applications Reconciling competing expectations - defining expectations; setting realistic targets; placing Intranets within broader information strategies Elements of Intranet architecture - aspects of Intranet architecture; designing success Implementing and managing Intranets-implementing Intranets; designing success Anticipating change - information systems convergence

Abstract: Discusses the use of intranets for coporate information services. Examines whether WWW intranets will replace the use of Lotus Notes Groupware for internal corporate networking. Reports on a questionnaire survey of a sample of organisations with intranets which focused on the library's role in setting up and monitoring the sites. Covers: library involvement; technical issues; time devoted to running the systems; and content

Abstract: The explosion of Intranet usage presents information professionals with a challenging opportunity: developing the corporate Intranet. Explains where to begin and whose assistance to enlist. Emphasises that the successful project requires hard work, a positive attitude, and relies heavily on teamwork. Properly designed Intranets are an economical means of integrating people, processes and information. Librarians are well positioned to deliver this medium by providing effective organizational design, purpose and utility to Intranet development

Abstract

This article describes the outcomes of research that examined the practice of web information architecture (IA) in large organizations. Using a grounded theory approach, seven large organizations were investigated and the data were analyzed for emerging themes and concepts. The research finds that the practice of web IA is characterized by unpredictability, multiple perspectives, and a need for responsiveness, agility, and negotiation. This article claims that web IA occurs in a complex environment and has emergent, self-organizing properties. There is value in examining the practice as a complex adaptive system. Using this metaphor, a pre-determined, structured methodology that delivers a documented, enduring, information design for the web is found inadequate - dominant and traditional thinking and practice in the organization of information are challenged.
