GONZALEZ SUAREZ, Beatriz  e  NUNO MORAL, María Victoria. Current information architecture trends in digitized cartography collections. Investig. bibl [online]. 2015, vol.29, n.67, pp.141-166. ISSN 2448-8321.

This paper provides an analysis of the Information Architecture (IA) of websites of organizations devoted to assembling and disseminating collections of digitized nineteenth century maps. For this purpose, researchers examine the following website features: Identity and Information, Language and Usage, Labeling, Site Structure and Navigation, Display of Information, and Search and Help functions. This examination reveals both strengths and weakness of each website, while also underscoring how poorer performing websites might improve. A questionnaire designed in previous research and adapted to this sample was applied. The analysis of each organization provides a qualitative assessment of the data gathered, and relevant conclusions are drawn from aspects assessed.
