The present publication concerns the requirements for the application of a rational signage system, which must be consistent, informatory concise and aesthetically pleasant. Academic libraries are places that host a great number of users, with particular tasks and conditions of realization (e.g. available time). For this reason the interior signage of these spaces is of critical importance, not only because they contribute in the formation of a reliable image of the library organization, but because they must support the effective movement of the users. In this publication we report the contextual challenges, the categories of signage systems and the actions carried by signage elements. Finally the work of Library & Information Service, University of Patras, Greece personnel and the freelance partners for the development of an effective interior signage system is being exhibited
