• Other campus groups may be permitted to submit signage to designated LCD screens pending review of content and appropriateness of said content.
• Library digital signage is not intended for promotion of commercial events or services.

• Limit the amount of signs associated with any one entity or group.
• Limit the amount of time that one sign may be displayed in each viewing.
• Determine the screens on which the signs will be displayed.
• Deny content that violates the purpose of the digital signage, contains references to alcoholic beverages or illicit drugs, contains sexist or discriminatory language or images, or contains offensive language.
