Virtual worlds such as Second Life are growing at incredible rates. Learn
what Second Life is and about the InfoIsland Library Project that has now
become an archipelago of  more than 20 large islands in less than a year.
Discover the opportunities and challenges of working in this type of
environment and why a presence in this kind of environment may or may not be
beneficial for your library.

The program is free but there is a $15 charge for dinner. Students, between
jobs and retired pay $12 for dinner. On the menu: wraps and salad.
