Can I post a sign on the display monitors in the library?

Answer

Yes! Appropriate signage can be displayed on the monitors in the library.

The library accepts content for display on our digital signage. Please send all submissions and questions to library@ucmerced.edu.

Please submit files at least 1 week in advance of posting. We typically update content once a week. Indicate date posting removal.

Technical Guidelines and Specifics

For optimum viewing, submit image files with the dimensions 1920 x 1080 pixels. We can upload PNG, JPG, TIF, and GIF. Please submit signs in landscape layout. We encourage submitting links as QR codes whenever possible.

Text should be font size 18 or larger.

Please note: Video or moving images are not supported.

Copyright Issues

When using someone else's creative work, whether it be a font or a photo, look for license or copyright info. When that information isn't clearly posted with an item, that does not mean there aren't restrictions; therefore, it's best to only use media that has availability and restrictions information clearly posted.

Be aware of copyright and permissions restrictions when using files from the web. Do not use media that have obvious use restrictions unless you have been given express permission by the legal owner. This includes most music, film, logos, book/movie/tv/game characters, etc. Proceed with caution when using any media that directly references a commercially produced item, for example an illustration from a Harry Potter book or an image of Johnny Depp from Alice in Wonderland.
