For the beginning of term, I just kept things simple, and pointed the kiosk to the same floorplan interface as everything else. I had been testing the web version all summer on different devices, so was pretty confident it would scale up or down to any screen size.
More to my surprise that anyone else's (my colleagues have a unanimously better grasp on human psychology than me), the kiosk proved an immediate hit.
Within days of powering it up, colleagues were making a feature of it during Library Welcome tours.
From Day One, I watched staff on our Information Hub walking users over to the kiosk to direct them around the building in response to directional queries.
And, all day long, I saw a steady stream of users tapping away at the screen.
It looked like I had a success on my hands.
When I had put put forward the purchase, I told colleagues that such a kiosk would allow us to explore a whole new world of features for digital signage and information sharing.
As soon as the rush of a new term had come under control, I knew I was going to have to make good on my promises, and find some quick-win uses for our new equipment ......
