Greetings:
The Alliance Library System of Illinois has developed an extremely
innovative presence in the virtual world known as Second Life
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
