Wayfinding: Libraries

Topic for wayfinding project is: Library

After a little bit of thinking here are some idea that I came up with:

1) A system like library or catalog for small businesses to keep track of their inventory (tech gadgets, portable gear for on location events etc) and be able to know who has what and where its at.

2) With the ever increasing technology that kids interact with and that may be more entertaining to them then reading a book my thought was to come up a portable device that can immerse them more into the story. Maybe some sort of projector that can cover the walls and transport them. I was also thinking that local libraries could have a wall with an interactive score board like game that lets the kids track there progress in books and earn prizes or incentives for reading more.

3) Interactive kiosk or computer system to look up a book and find out where the book is located. You would then receive a small print out ticket with a “walk path” to lead you straight to the book. Then scan a member id and the book and leave.

4) A service where you can bring in important and deteriorating documents or photos and have them professionally photographed/scanned and archived to preserve them longer. The contents would go into a database type library where you can then share it to a wide range of people from as little as just your family or the whole world. This could create a virtual/digital museum of history that future generations may not get to see other wise.
