- Committee on Library Orientation Report to the Directors Council Library Sign System. Lester, Linda And Others Academic Libraries Library Facilities Library Guides Library Instruction Orientation Orientation Materials Signs This report by the Committee on Library Orientation at the University of Virginia reviews the need for a unified, well designed sign system to assist users of the university libraries and discusses the categories and functions of such signs as identified in the relevant literature. A discussion of the current situation at the university and problem areas revealed by a survey of existing signs leads to recommendations for the development of an improved sign system. Specific recommendations are concerned with the types of signs to be used--orientation, directional, identification (both interior and exterior), conditional and regulatory, instructional and current awareness--and the process of implementation and installation, including services to be provided by a design consultant, priorities for installation, and the provision of an in-house facility for sign production. A list of references and a copy of the survey form for existing signs are attached. (RAA)
