My friend Chad use to have a Lego town, and all of his friends lived in it - they all had jobs, homes and functions in his Lego world. They moved and changed, and they "really" lived there.
Being on Second Life must be kind of like Chad's Lego town - a 3-D virtual world entirely built and owned by its residents. And now, Alliance Library System and OPAL are teaming up to extend book discussions, training sessions, and other library programs to current virtual residents in the Second Life virtual reality game.
Although there were already libraries on Second Life, none offered programs or services. Alliance and OPAL will start with programs currently offered online to librarians and library users, and hope to offer library services in the future.
I think this is an amazing way to apply the concept of Library 2.0! Read more about it in the April 25 edition of Metaverse Messenger - a real life newspaper for a virtual world.
