Creating Low-Cost Interactive Displays for Your Library

In this two-hour workshop, you will learn how to set up digital signage and interactive displays without breaking your budget. Get hands-on with a variety of hardware that can be converted for your digital needs. Next, learn techniques on how to develop content using software you already own or are low-cost to purchase. Finally, learn more than just how to create digital displays. To be successful and influence your patrons’ behaviors, you need to think about what content will best appeal to which patrons at the right time, and at their point of need. This workshop is best for those who are comfortable with technology.
