From the Paper:

"In the wake of the Information Technology (IT) revolution, the field of information science (IS) has emerged and very quickly become an increasingly significant academic as well as practical discipline. Recently, the American Society for Information Science (ASIS) held a summit meeting in Boston. Richard Zwies (2000) described the results of this summit meeting as constituting a critical event in the development of the field of information architecture, which encompasses system design and development, information retrieval, graphic design, knowledge of organizational and user behavior, and skills in the area of existing and emerging technologies. Though IS is a relatively new discipline, it has quickly generated a myriad number of studies that attempt to identify the most critical areas needing research and/or refinement as the field itself advances. The purpose of..."
