== Carrier: Digital Signage System ==
* [[User:jmspargu|Justin Spargur]], The University of Arizona, spargurj@u.library.arizona.edu
Carrier is a web-based digital signage application written using JavaScript, PHP, MySQL that can be used on any device with an internet connection and a web browser. Used across the University of Arizona Libraries campuses, Carrier can display any web-based content, allowing users to promote new library collections and services via images, web pages, or videos. Users can easily manage the order in which slides are delivered, manage the length that slides are displayed for, set dates for when slides should be shown, and even specify specific locations where slides should be presented.
In addition to marketing purposes, Carrier can be used to send both low and high priority alerts to patrons. Alerts can be sent through the administrative interface, via RSS feeds, and even through a Twitter feed, allowing for easy integration with existing campus emergency notification systems.
I will describe the technical underpinnings of Carrier, challenges that we’ve faced since its implementation, enhancements planned for the next release of the software, and discuss our plans for releasing this software for others to use '''for free'''.
