My institution is considering installing electronic signage in our museum.  Our initial plan is to install a mid-size monitor in our lobby, next to our visitor services/security desk, where we can inform visitors of upcoming events and exhibitions, welcome special tour groups, advertise sales in our museum store, and promote other history/culture-related activities in our area.  We'd love to hear from other museum staff who have used electronic signs for similar purposes.  Were you pleased with the results?  What should we consider in selecting a vender and type of sign?  If you had it to do over, would you choose to install this type of signage in your museum?  Any information, opinions and tips will be much appreciated.
