How to create the InfoKiosk for your institution

Alternatively to this general InfoKiosk, it is possible to adapt a dedicated Kiosk to the more specific needs of your institution by selecting and including the website links or your choice. This way, should the institution wish to have a link to sources on migration, on trade, or on any other development topics on the left-hand menu, please send them to us and we will adapt the menu for your institution. 

In addition, the InfoKiosk can also be adapted in French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish.

Thus, to set up a tailor-made InfoKiosk in your institution, please send the following elements: 

- Logo of your institution, faculty, or library, in the following format: 196x125 pixels, preferably in Gif;

- Institution's Internet links that you would like to see on the homepage of the InfoKiosk (e.g. link to some research work of interest done in your institution, links to some library pages, etc.);

- Picture relating to the institution, to be placed on the homepage (e.g. outside or inside picture: see models by selecting Kiosks on the list of the general InfoKiosk website www.worldbank.org/infokiosks, or see the following Kiosks: Italy Urbino university, or of Italy LIUC which chose not to have the image of the students on the homepage);

- Information links on the resources menus: the ones you see on the website are already pre-adapted by default; if you wish us to add specific resources links, remove or replace some of them, please send us the selection from the World Bank website. If you do not know how to find them, please indicate the topic of interest and we will find it for you and adapt it to your menu (e.g. you want to have a direct link to documents on gender, trade, migration, etc. on the left menu). If you deem the generic InfoKiosk corresponds to your needs, then we will keep the current format.

What are the next steps?

Once we receive the above elements, we customize the InfoKiosk to the institution's needs in a very short time.  

We then send the new InfoKiosk Internet link to the institution for the library staff to highlight it on the resources pages of the library website.

We also advise if possible, that one of the computers in the library open on the homepage of the institution's Kiosk, and be highlighted by a small poster (A5 size) placed next to it so that students be aware of the existence of the InfoKiosk tool (we provide holder and poster). The computer does not need to be specifically dedicated to this Kiosk and can continue to be used as the other computers.

Finally, we send two A3-size posters (or more if needed) of the InfoKiosk, for the institution to display in the library and/or in other public areas in the institution, and welcome if an announcement on the website, on a newsletter, or through other means can be done so as to inform the students.
