Learn about user experience design principles to help make library signage more welcoming, effective, and accessible. The book provides information on the history of signs, research methods, signage audits, digital signs, best practices and policies, and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Also includes case studies with the results of signage redesigns and examples of signage policies.
Some interesting information from an academic perspective, but much of the information was more focused on history and research rather than practical advise. It was worth checking out solely for the Signage Best Practices and Policies chapter along with some additional information provided in the Signage and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
If you’re specifically looking to conduct a signage audit, this is a helpful resource. If you’re looking to make signage more effective and accessible, I’d recommend just reading the last two chapters.
