Process

First:

Contact your department's IT area, Technology Leadership Counsel (TLC) member or Distributed Staff Person (DSP). The signage infrastructure may already be set up and available for you.

Second: Location, Location, Location

A digital sign can range from a 12 inch display on a receptionists desk to a 12 foot multi-touch interactive video wall in a building lobby.  In the first instance all you need is some agreed upon space on the counter and a power outlet. In the second you may need architectural design and a building permit. Please coordinate with your building manager and/or Campus Planning Design & Construction (CPDC) for an evaluation of your project. Learning Environments and Media Production (LEMP) will be willing to work with you to determine proper LCD screen sizes for your intended audience, recommend models and mounts and may even assist with installations.
