Digital signage is the monitors located throughout Hardin Hall that display various SNR and UNL related content. These monitors are located in the first-floor south lobby of Hardin Hall next to the southwest door and northeast door; in the second-floor south lobby next to men’s restroom; and first-floor north lobby near the elevator.
The screen is divided into four main areas. The top banner has the SNR name and then date, time, and air temperature at the Lincoln Airport. The bottom banner has IANR Headlines.
On the right-hand side of the screen, two different types of information can be displayed: 1) 'Today in Hardin Hall' and the current radar or 2) an events calendar, the SNR Twitter feed and the current radar.
'Today in Hardin Hall' lists activities in conference rooms, the auditorium (107 South) and public spaces within Hardin Hall. It does not list classes. By reserving a room in Outlook for your activity, it is automatically added to this list. The list displays only current day activities. For more information on Room Reservation
If no activities have reserved space in Hardin Hall for the day, then the events/Twitter/radar display is used. To add your activity to the events calendar, fill out this form and submit a text-free image to snrwebmaster@unl.edu. Social Media content can be given to Jacki Loomis or Lisa Grief to post directly on the SNR social media feeds.
In the main part of the screen, a playlist of items is cycled through approximately every 3 minutes. The playlist for this area can include SNR and UNL events, photo essays, special events and curated UNL social media feeds. To have your information posted in this area, fill out this form; in the additional information section, explain how you might want information to be displayed.
