We are not aware of any other book, research or applied, that
has the extensive coverage that we have of user experience
specifications, used to set operational goals for user experience,
including usability.
No other HCI product and process book has the ready-to-use
supplementary materials that offer such a low barrier for new
instructors to pick up this material and teach a UE/UX course like
a pro.

Do it as part of the Reframing IA process
REFRAMING INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE
A ROUND TABLE WORKSHOP AT THE IA SUMMIT 2013 - BALTIMORE
Technological, economic, social, and cultural elements of change
have thoroughly transformed the scenario in which information
architecture operated in the late 1990s, and a reframing is
necessary to move the conversation forward, consolidate intuitions
into discipline, and help establish a common language and grammar
for both practice and research in the field.
to identify new directions of research which might advance both
the theory and practice of information architecture
to continue bridging research and practice in the field of
information architecture
Slide 12 Keith Instone: Closing the Research-Practice Gap

How to close the gap (not just bridge it)?
Slide 13 Keith Instone: Closing the Research-Practice Gap
I care more about the Process of Reframing (than the frames)

Writing papers
+ Talking (amongst ourselves)
+ NOTHING ELSE
= FAIL
