The following are sources where you can find out more about information design.
Email lists are either moderated (an editor reviews, edits and sometimes rejects messages, then sends out the result to subscribers) or unmoderated (all messages are sent in their original state to subscribers).
The most interesting discussions tend to be here. InfoDesign is moderated by Yuri Engelhardt. Discussion is infrequent and sometimes esoteric. To subscribe, visit the list's web page.
The InfoDesign website has lists of information designers and relevant organisations, as well as interesting articles.
InfoDesign Cafe is a chattier information design list server. To subscribe, visit the list's web page
There are no compelling magazines about information design: Information Design Journal was the best of the bunch and is often accused of elitism and over-academic purity by those in the ID trenches.
IDJ, concerned with 'user-centred communication design', appears roughly twice a year. The most (only?) rigorous journal in our field, it is now published by John Benjamins publishing company.
The human-factors journal of the (US) Association for Computing Machinery. Visit their website to subscribe and view current as well as back issues.
The International Institute for Information Design has astonishing ambitions. It has run some interesting conferences over the last few years. Visit the IIID website for more information.
Formed in 1991, the Society seeks to promote excellence in signing and wayfinding. SDS members and guests meet regularly for informal discussions, usually led by guest speakers. Visit their website for more information.
Though burdened with an unlovely name, the Society for Technical Communication's Information Design Special Interest Group is young, vigorous, and growing fast. The main web entry is at http://www.stcsig.org/id/
