Display of Donors to Cedar Rapids Library


Requested by: Cedar Rapids Public Library Foundation, Tom Hansen

Request filed: Aug 24, 2009

Requested Project

One goal of the upcoming library capital campaign will be get as many citizens to give as possible.  I would like to recognize each donor and how everyone connections to each other by having a large visual display(on wall or ceiling) with each gift represented by a point of light so that a donor could type in their name and see each gift they made light up.  I would like to follow connections between people so that if I convinced 5 people to give and they five more each then I would hope to be able to see my efforts light up going forward.  I would like to go backwards and see who recruited me etc.  So this is a computer problem as well as an interface problem connecting the computer to some sort of large display.  I've been told that fiber optics and LED takes too much wiring ( I'm hoping for 50,000 donors) and that the way to go may be to have many large screen TVs connected.
