NCSU has done some work you might be interested in. See this article: Lessons in Public Touchscreen Development by Andreas K. Orphanides In October 2010, the NCSU Libraries debuted its first public touchscreen information kiosk, designed to provide on-demand access to useful and commonly consulted real-time displays of library information. This article presents a description of the hardware and software development process, as well as the rationale behind a variety of design and implementation decisions. This article also provides an analysis of usage of the touchscreen since its debut, including a numerical analysis of most popular content areas, and a heatmap-based analysis of user interaction patterns with the kiosk's interface components. http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/5832 -Tod Tod Olson <[log in to unmask]> Systems Librarian University of Chicago Library On Feb 13, 2012, at 9:50 AM, Cynthia Ng wrote: > Hi All, > > I was wondering if anyone has implemented (or plan to implement) touch > screens in their library?
