LIBRARY WAYFINDING SYSTEM

Signage & Information Graphics

The icons were customized to fit the library’s collection and allow for better browsing.

They relate to the Library of Congress Classifications and help the user learn the system in a visual way. These icons are used in the way-finding map located in a central area of the library and correspond to rounds that are located on the ends of each bookshelf -- indicating the location of a specific classification of the book.

Icons

These icons are mounted at the end of each bookshelf, indicating the genre of books to help direct the user.
