Polger, Mark Aaron Best Practices Signs Guidelines Library Policy Library Development Institutional Advancement Institutional Characteristics Audits (Verification) Evaluation Methods Literature Reviews Research Methodology Questionnaires Signage represents more than directions or policies; it is informational, promotional, and sets the tone of the environment. To be effective, signage must be consistent, concise, and free of jargon and punitive language. An efficient assessment of signage should include a complete inventory of existing signage, including an analysis of the types of signs, its location, language, and its design. This article outlines the steps involved in a comprehensive signage audit, which along with a literature review, provides the foundation for creating a signage policy, best practices guidelines, and a branding strategy for future signage. (Contains 7 figures and 4 tables.) |
