[Web4lib] Academic library initiatives in Second Life

[Tom Peters]

I am working on an article about academic libraries in the Second Life three-dimensional virtual reality environment.  If your academic library or library consortium is discussing, planning, or offering library services in Second Life, please feel free to contact me, preferably by Friday, August 25.
 
For example, Northern Illinois University and Central Missouri State University are collaborating to develop an academic island in Second Life, and the New Media Consortium (http://www.nmc.org/) already has built a stunning library on their island campus.  Even if you're still in the early discussion stages, I'd like to hear from you.  Thanks in advance.
