He has been instrumental in helping establish the field of information architecture, and in articulating the role and value of librarianship within the field. As a graduate student in library and information studies in the late 1980s, Lou became convinced that the skills of librarians were grossly undervalued — in the coming information explosion, who else would supply the skills of organizing, classifying and labeling information? As the Web sped that explosion along, Lou realized that additional skills and perspectives were required to develop coherent, intuitive structures — information architectures — that made web content accessible to users. Lou served as Argus' president from 1994-2001. Lou has participated heavily in efforts to coalesce the information architecture community. Lou holds a Masters in Information and Library Studies and a B.A. in History, both from The University of Michigan.
