The Discipline of Organizing defines a unified framework and life cycle: selection, organization, interaction design, and maintenance. Good organizing uses clear principles and trade-offs so resources are easier to find and supports new kinds of collections beyond traditional silos. *(Summarized by Ghostreader)* Note that this is an article *about* Glushko's book of the same name. ## Significance > [!bot-text] > Glushko's organizing-systems framework is a foundational teaching text for IA; this summary anchors the canonical selection-organization-interaction-maintenance life cycle Stuart teaches. ## Claims & insights Claims that cite this summary (claims link here via `source`): <!-- QueryToSerialize: TABLE WITHOUT ID link(file.link, file.title) AS "Claim", confidence AS "Confidence" FROM #claim WHERE contains(file.outlinks, [[Summary - The discipline of organizing (Robert J.
