Analysis On Information Architecture Of University Library Website

In the 21st century, knowledge-based economy as a new economy is changing the full range of society, the trend of information technology has been sweeping the globe society, there is a deep imprint of the University Library web site as knowledge storage and the development of network media. Although the University Libraries Web site belonging to non-profit organization, but as a social information storage and delivery center, as the preservation of the cultural heritage of humanity and social functions of education sector, there is also a problem of the use of website users the efficiency and effectiveness. There are the rich collection of resources, advanced equipment and high-quality staff in the university library, we have a certain advantage building on the site. Facing the phenomenon of information explosion current society is becoming increasingly serious, the user needs more and more diversified situation, University Libraries Web site will also face a great challenge, even if it has a unique advantage. Many University Library has established its own web site, in terms of quantity, quality, have begun to take shape, as the birthplace of modern colleges and universities information, teachers and students a good platform for the exchange. However, there is a lot of problems about building University Library Web site, not only in the abundance of information resources on the problems, the University Libraries Web site how to make more practical and humane, more intelligent there is also a lot of loopholes.Information Architecture as an optimizing the architectural and Informatics sequence of ideas and tools, there is a distinct advantage in the protection of ecological information to provide personalized service. Therefore, the combination of University Libraries Web site and information construction, the use of information theory to build, alteration and reconstruction of University Libraries University Libraries Web site promotes the development of a new approach.First in this article, from the theory and practice the article reviews information architecture, the status of university library establishment inside and outside of China. Then it introduces the characteristic university library website and information architecture, discusses the inherent relation between university library website and information architecture, puts forward the viewpoint of information architecture to improve the establishment of university library website, expatiate on the significance of establishing university library basics on the information architecture, expatiate the advantage of protection of information ecology and improve the level of individuation service. It analyzes the information architecture of university library through navigation system, search system, organization system, label system and the design structure of website. It does the case study of Jilin University library website, analyzes the information architecture of the website and makes the following recommendations: Web site structure should focus on the unity of style, to increase the cultural atmosphere of the site, improve site accessibility and enhance the site's day-to-day maintenance; organizations should strengthen the information system organized in an orderly manner, and to strengthen the information classification standardization and organizations to provide personalized information services; label system should be to improve the accuracy of information on the expression of identity, to strengthen the information comprehensible logo; navigation systems should pay attention to the navigation elements and the availability of complete to avoid duplication of navigation elements to enhance the layout of the navigation menu to strengthen the characteristics of the construction site navigation; searching system should provide a wide range of unified search platform to improve its search function to retrieve a variety of means to a unified search interface, to strengthen the personality and human services. Finally, do these proposals to build the evaluation of information, so that the theory put forward in front of specific.During the investigation, different analytical methods such as content analysis, comparative analysis, the real example analysis and graphic presentation to analyze the raised questions one by one, and makes the research deepened step by step. The innovation in this article is: first, integrate the information architecture and university library website, expatiate on the need and usability of information architecture about university library website; second, compare and analyze the university library, use the example, puts forward the problems of establishment about university library website, then design information architecture about university library website; third, according to the example of Jilin University website, analyze the information architecture, redesign it, use the theory to practices.In this article, in the theory through the combination of information architecture and University Libraries Web site, get the important significance of explore the construction of the functions and significance of information to build the theory of deepening and expanding the field of information architecture research. In practice, the "focus on information ecology" and "user-centric" theory give a contribution to construct university library website. It is not only to improve the University Libraries Web site-building the quality, but also to strengthen the University Library Web Services efforts to improve the users' satisfaction.
