Are you tired of paper signs? Do you want something that is animated, plays video, and/or respond to patrons? Then you’re ready for an interactive kiosk or digital display. You will learn what goes into designing and maintaining displays and kiosks, software and hardware options, and what features are the most useful to patrons. Before you break your savings bank, Goodman will also show you cheap alternatives to an expensive screen. Digital signs can advertise programs and new services. Interactive kiosks are great for inviting users to explore your library further. Presented on March 23, 2016 for Florida Library Webinars

21. Digital signage, if deployed properly,
tells venue-specific stories, consistently
serving up the right content to the right
audience at the right time.

40. To be more accessible, kiosks need a headphone
jack, so a blind user can interact with them
privately; a keyboard with keys you can find by
touch; and correct software applications to
make everything work correctly.

accessible kiosk design, considerations, and structures in exhaustive, but
readable detail.

Stress that you are testing the design
NOT the person. Say this repeatedly.
Make it so!

Have you used a touchscreen kiosk before?
What do you expect to learn or discover from using this kiosk?
Would the current display [screensaver or default screen]
encourage you to explore? Why?
How would you find X?
Do you know where you are in the building from this map?
46/77

47. Amanda L. Goodman @godaisies
Where would you find information about X?
Now that you have started to use the kiosk, is there anything
else you would want to find on it? Are we missing anything?

Work in Teams of Two
One asks the questions. The other writes.
Ask to Film Their Hands
Saves time on note taking and gives you video proof of how users act.
Encourage Thinking Out Loud
You want to know why they’re doing what they do.
Offer Compensation
Coffee is popular!
