Further Reading

There’s really only one book you need to read to find out pretty much everything there is to know about card sorting: Donna Spencer’s Card Sorting: Designing Usable Categories [Spe09].

If you’re interested in the larger field of information architecture, Information Architecture for the World Wide Web [MR06] by Peter Morville and Louis Rosenfeld and A Practical Guide to Information Architecture [Spe10] by Donna Spencer are both good ways to get started.
