Abstract
An unfortunate design paradox prevalent in many of America's libraries is that these bastions of well‐designed books, records, and pamphlets assault the user with a variety of rag‐tag signs and graphic devices; indeed, so much visual clutter. At best, these homemade sign “systems” are the undertakings of a well‐meaning library staff trying to reach out to the public in a cost‐effective way.
