How Do I?

The library has digital signs throughout the USMA Library as a way to share information about library events, services, resources, and space.

Use these formats below to create the sign you want to request to be displayed in the library. You can also use standard flyer formats.

If using a format other than Powerpoint, use the following size guidelines:

• Horizontal/Landscape: 1400x900 px
• Vertical/Portrait: 800x1200 px

Digital Signage FAQs

What can be posted?

• If a sign is promoting an on-going series of events, such as a series of classes, the details should be refreshed to maintain currency, specificity, and relevance

What should I submit?
