Information distribution and content provision systems disseminate information either to the general public or to a specified group. These new generation devices targeting masses of people can be used both for information transmission and PR purposes.

Digital Signage (DS) solutions radically changed both indoor and outdoor communication. The system, however, is more than a sum of separate display devices as in each case a combination of centrally located software and hardware facilitate the preparation and maintenance of the respective data via various networks. DS systems revolutionised digital advertisement communication as the latest developments not only serve commercial purposes, but impact such areas of life as education, health care, and last but not least, library services.

The renewal of an otherwise effective information system introduced at Eszterházy Károly College a few years ago opened new possibilities in institutional communication as well. The operation of the new system designed to meet specific or customized needs is still coordinated by the Central Library, while the programs are being edited by the staff of the Library and the Lyceum TV.

The new editing surface operating within a flexible Windows-based framework includes such features as an easily manageable graphic surface, national character lists, freely adjustable size vector-graphic letters, and a wide selection of sound, midi, and presentation devices operating on demand. Nevertheless, the list of possibilities is endless and in light of the latest technological development trends it is inevitable that our system should be made more user-friendly, more open and suitable for the provision of personalized services.

My presentation examines the main features of the digital communication system implemented at the Eszterházy Károly College along with introducing the options provided by the new surface in addition to reporting on perspectives of renewal of the currently available communication structure.
