At UTA Libraries, we’re excited to offer our digital monitors as a platform to share important announcements and promote events that enhance our campus community. Below is a guide for departments and organizations interested in displaying content on our monitors. 

How to Submit a Request 

Please use our Engagement & Impact Request Form, to submit items to be shown on the library's TV monitors. To guarantee appropriate scheduling and consideration, we advise all departments to submit their requests at least two weeks in advance. 

What If I need help creating a graphic? 

Our team has the expertise and creativity to turn your ideas into reality. Please provide the necessary details on the Engagement & Impact Request Form, and our graphic designer will work with you to create your ideal graphic. Please note this service is only available for departments within UTA Libraries.

To ensure a high degree of visual quality, all entries must meet the following requirements: 

• Landscape - 1920 x 1080 pixels.
• Formats: PNG, JPG, WebP, and animated GIFS are accepted.  
• Content is clear, concise, and visually engaging.

• Must meet WCAG AA color contrast requirements. (Use Contrast Checker)

Prioritization of Content 

Although we want to display as many requests as we can, space is limited. Biweekly rotation of graphics will guarantee diversity and exposure throughout campus. Please note that priority will be given to UTA Libraries' departments, and content will be ranked according to the following criteria:  

• Strategic Priorities of UTA Libraries: Priority will be given to requests that support the library's basic principles, which include encouraging community engagement and student success.  
• Collaborations & Engagement: We encourage and appreciate entries from other university departments and groups, especially those that promote campus-wide events and improve the student experience.
• Student Success: Information that highlights events & workshops, academic assistance services, or other tools that help students succeed. 

We look forward to working with you to promote important announcements and events on campus! Please contact us with any questions.
