Collaboration Opportunities for Academic Libraries in Second Life

Date: Tuesday, September 19, 2006
Time: beginning at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, 1:00 Central, Noon 
Mountain, 11:00 a.m. Pacific, and 6:00 p.m. GMT

Join Lori Bell, Tom Peters, and other librarians for a roundtable 
discussion of the opportunities for worthwhile collaboration among academic 
libraries in Second Life, a 3-dimensional virtual reality environment. This 
fall over 50 institutions of higher education are offering (or preparing to 
offer) courses in Second Life. Learn what libraries of all types involved 
in the Alliance Second Life Library 2.0 project are doing to meet the 
teaching, learning and research needs of these courses being held in Second 
Life. Explore how academic libraries can collaborate while still providing 
access to local resources and services, and thus avoid re-inventing the wheel.
