Hi Kyle,
Our UX/UI person has done some card-based IA testing using the methodology outlined here: http://boxesandarrows.com/card-based-classification-evaluation/

Mark the intersection of each scenario and the classification item selected by the participant. I usually use capital letters for first choices and ...
If you have any questions about it, I can put you in touch with him.

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Methods to test new site IA?
Apologies for cross-listing...
I need some advice on user testing methods. I've embarked on a project to
redo our library website's information architecture. I've sketched out a
new IA for the site which I want to test with users. Initially I thought
that I would just build out the new IA on our development server, then do
usability testing with users on the dev site. Now I'm realizing that will
be a lot of work, and making any changes once its built will also take
time. Is there a middle ground? Are there good ways to do some user
testing with paper prototypes? I want to get feedback on whether my
categories and labels are intuitive and meaningful.
