Technical Information Service (TIS) of AAM announces: Standards Manual for Signs and Labels. Everyone benefits from carefully desinged and produced signs and labels. This easy to use, illustrated manual identifies the basic elements of all types of museum signage, including large orientation and directional signs and plaques plus wall, case, floor, panel and freestanding labels, and suggests accessibility standards for each element. The standards address the needs of wheelchair users, the visually impaired, and those with low reading comprehension and limited mobility. Standards for type size and typeface, spacing, contrast, medium, installation and lighting are suggested. The manual also contains guidelines for comprehension, use of symbols, The Metropolitan Museum of Art's sign and label production sequence, a glossary and federal regulations for signs.
