Library Signage

There is a constant discussion of appropriate signage within the bibliosphere and it made me think, how can I contribute?

I noticed that most of the discussion focused on cellphone signage and appropriate use within the library. Call me progressive but I believe people should be able to use their cellphone in the library. I know I constantly use my iPhone in the library for texting, checking my email, and often times recording catalog numbers so that I don’t have to waste paper by writing them down. Most anti cellphone signs contain two things a clip art image of a cellphone and a big red line. One of Michael Stephen’s posts at Tame The Web is actually entitled The Red Circle and Diagonal Line is Very Popular.

I decided to throw together a quick appropriate cellphone use sign this morning.  I made the image in black and white so that you can print it out even if you don’t have access to a color printer.
