Digital Signage

We are starting to do some research on digital signage for our library and possibly other campus locations as well. Here are a couple of installations from a recent trip to Boston:

Institute for Contemporary Art (ICA), Boston. These screens are placed over the main information/ticket counter. The built in handout racks are a nice touch also.
















Copley Place, Boston. These were installed in a main stairwell area of this upscale shopping mall. They seemed a bit lost, especially after the visual punch of the ICA installation pictured above.
















Here are some more good examples from the University of Sheffield's Information Commons (Yorkshire, UK). For more information about this stunning project, see Martin Lewis and Philippa Levy's excellent EDUCAUSE presentation.
