[OPLINTECH] Electronic Bulletin Board

[Tim Burns via OPLINTECH]

We have a variety of LED large screen displays(4) connected to “recycled”/repurposed workstations that run Porteus Kiosk(1) software. This provides a very cool hands-off management(3).

The kiosk is pointed to a shared presentation slide show(2) on google drive. The URL causes the show to play on load, and refresh each hour to pickup content changes. We tailor the show to particular branch/location/audience.

I was hoping to get some ideas for digital signage for the library.  I’m looking to mount a panel above the circ desk with rotating library content such as programs, highlighted collections, this type of thing.  Does anyone have recommendations for what type of panel to purchase as well as content management?  How does your library handle this currently?  What would you like to see differently in your existing setup?

I appreciate any advice.  Thanks in advance!
