Greetings:
The Alliance Library System of Illinois has developed an extremely
innovative presence in the virtual world known as Second Life
<http://www.secondlife.com>www.secondlife.com . The recently released New
Media Consortium Horizon Report places more widespread use of Multi-User
Virtual Environments like Second Life on a 3-5 year horizon. Alliance and
their sponsors are very generously making virtual space available for a
number of library organizations and individual librarians to work/play at
imagining the future of library services.
Some colleagues and I have claimed a spot for art librarians to meet. We
invite you to get together with us and brainstorm. This is an opportunity
to develop arts-related services and events within Second Life, as well as
to explore the potential of the gaming environment as an element of library
service.
Details are below. Hope your avatar will be able to make the first
meet-up, in-world at 9:00 a.m. PST, on Monday, February 5th.
Best regards,
Rookie Voyager
