Abstract

Libraries are gradually becoming spaces for discovery, innovation and community empowerment by catering to the various needs of the public. To harness the unlimited resources in the library, library digital signage is the perfect tool to help transform old buildings and spaces into a place of collaboration and innovation. Since it's a content-centric solution at its core, digital signs can go beyond looping a series of pictures. It's an intelligent tool that cans tailor-fit content relative to the audience, location, time of the day and even process. This chapter will address the different roles of signages and buttress the fact that Digital signage can play a major role in this communication process in addition to demonstrating a “green” environment for library patrons. Graphic Information can be displayed to the public in meeting rooms, at the front desk, in vestibules or cafeterias/cafes. The messaging can range from programs being held at the library to public service announcements to emergency messaging and so much more. There is no limit to the information that a library signage can convey to its users.
