Interactive content for digital signage

[Bellmore, Eric N.]

Davic,

Are you developing this in house or buying something? We are just starting to play with some Raspberry Pi boards with intentions of using touch screens with them for something similar. I'm interested in how others are doing this. We currently have digital message boards that are not interactive; these would be in addition to those.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] Interactive content for digital signage

We will be installing interactive digital signs in our main library this fall. One sign will be at our entrance and one will be in the lobby. The draft plan is to provide interactivity that will allow patrons to browse to floor plans, hours and schedules, directories, a campus map, and an "about the libraries" section.

I would be interested to learn what type of interactive content others have found to be most popular and useful to students and what interactive content did not turn out to be particularly successful.

Thanks,
