In Essex we are looking to make our libraries easier for people to use
We have installed storeguides in 9 of our larger libraries which use
ordinary language rather than jargon to indicate what services and
facilities are available
The lists include -
Audio Books
CDs, DVDs and Videos
Children's library
Computers, Email and Internet
Factual books
Foreign languages
Helpdesk
Information
Large print
Library catalogue
Local history
News and Mags
Novels
Quick returns
Youth

We now wish to add pictograms to the textual lists and to use the pictograms
on signage around the libraries in order to help all people but in
particular people who have difficulty in reading the lists to find the
service or facility in which they are interested
Has anyone used pictograms in this way ? or does anyone know of any
pictograms which are the accepted way of representing words such as are on
our lists?
