Contributor opportunities are available for practitioners and students who wish to participate in an ambitious effort to publish communications that help frame a unique perspective of theory, research and discipline of information architecture.

The DSIA Portal offers a no-stress and casual volunteer environment that can evolve into awesome, new challenges. The Portal is young, so this is a great time to get involved!

Benefits of Contributing
If you're interested in an intern opportunity, launching your new career or simply looking for an activity that's relevant to your field, the DSIA Portal can be a valuable addition to your resume.

In exchange for your volunteer efforts, contributors are credited on all published works, and are officially recognized on the DSIA Portal web site with a personal DSIA contributor profile. Contributor profiles contain your bio, the projects to which you've contributed, and links to your professional and personal destinations on the web—such as your blog or Twitter account.

Contributing to the DSIA Portal is a great way to position yourself within a thought-leading organization within the information architecture field.
