the web team enjoyed a virtual tour of second life today. having met lori bell from alliance library system at Internet Librarian, she was kind enough to offer a tour. we wanted to better understand what was happening in Second Life as many libraries have a presence. john created an avatar so that lori's avatar could meet us and guide us. we went thru lori's virtual world, imagination island and cleveland public library, too. got a taste for how people interact and move around, how information is put up and got to meet some people too! it was most interesting to know that there's an event calendar where you can find all kinds of book discussions and such going on. i think lori said there are about 800 librarians in Second Life now with 36 library partners.
my personal mission, should Second Life accept Apple computer users :), is to create my own avatar so that i can sit in on some book discussions to more fully understand what's going on......elsewhere.
should you, too, have an Second Life presence and/or avatar, could you please let me know your name?

I would love to participate in a tour like this if ever we have another one. Perhaps this is an idea for a Staff Development class?
