Abstract

The purpose of this study was identify view point of faculty members and professionals of knowledge and information area and related sciences towards information technology in selected Isfahan universities about variables in Information Architecture and providing solution for organizing. This study was survey and questionnaires were used for data collection. The population of this study included all faculty members and professionals of knowledge and information science and related science to information technology of Isfahan universities who have been working in 1394.They were 110 persons. For data collection the questionnaire in the five point Likert Scales was used. According to research results, in most cases their points of view about information architecture are different. Only in relation with the impact on corporate investment in information technology cannot say that their points of view are different. The result showed that view point of faculty members and professionals of knowledge and information science and related science to information technology of Isfahan universities is concerned in two approaches, Enterprise Information Architecture and user experience Information Architecture. According to Information Architecture the best suggestion to organize information is to create checklist from infrastructure level to the user interface level.
