Interactive content for digital signage

[David S Vose]

Thanks for all the replies.

We are partnering with Four Winds Interactive for the signs. Since we
are hopeful that our small foray into signage will scale on campus, we
wanted to begin with a robust, well established system that is easy to
grow. Doing so also allows us to focus more on content and less on the
back end (FWI will host).

Once the interactive signs are in production we will likely expand
with non-interactive signs. Students waiting in line to print are a
big captive audience, so we will look next at doing signs above the
printer islands.

More info about content for your interactive signs would be of great interest.

Thanks,

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.

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.
