I am starting my foray into the world of signage and wayfinding. One of my objectives for this year is to get the library signage under control. Not easy with 6 campuses. But today I found some useful resources to get the ball rolling. If signage and wayfinding is your thing feel free to send me suggestions/recommendations. I have a feeling this project is going to be a big one.
- Flickr Library Signs – from the sublime to the ridiculous you will find examples of both in libraries
- http://www.librisdesign.org/docs/WayfindingSignage.pdf – few years old now but filled with practical suggestions for signage
- Wayfinding design guidelines
- San Francisco State University – Signage Policy
- Library as place (2006)
- Great post on bad signs from the Swiss Army Librarian
- University of Manitoba Library – Signage Guidelines
- Useful starting point – Library Support Staff.com
YAY! Best of luck with your signage project
