> Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone here has a favorite book on
> information organization for technical writers? More and more, I've been
> faced with decisions involving deciding what should be online only,
> print/pdf only, and in both forms. In doing so, I've wondered about
> information design theory and practice, especially when you're dealing
with
> more advanced product users. Has anyone found a good book that covers
some
> of the issues you should factor into your overall documentation plan, such
> as organization, navigational structure, etc?
>
> Thanks in advance.
