摘要：Efforts to address the chronic challenge of information overload in the digital world have focused on content filtering facilitated by information architecture (IA). Information professionals traditionally served as gatekeepers using formal information organization structures, systems and tools. The exploding quantity of contributed content on social media has magnified information overload and left content control and management largely up to users, who need to be educated in digital literacy (DLi) in order to assume this role. Thus, DLi¡¯s interface with IO is relatively clear. DLi also has a twofold role in the related field of IA. By default, information architects should be digitally literate themselves. Secondly, the users of information have to be aware of the importance of structures and architecture. This awareness can be achieved by educating them to IA as part of DLi education. The proper balance between formal and informal approaches to organizing information in the Web 2.0 environment is not yet clear.
