Join us in Second Life on March 8 for a conference on virtual worlds
and libraries, education and museums!  The purpose of this conference
is to provide a gathering place for librarians, information
professionals, educators, museologists, and others to learn about and
discuss the educational, informational, and cultural opportunities of
virtual worlds. The conference will be held at the lovely New Media
  Consortium Conference Center.  There will be a variety of presentations to attend
including keynote programs by Kitty Pope, Executive Director of the
Alliance Library System, Barbara Galik, Director of the Cullom-Davis
Library at Bradley University, Doug McDavid from IBM, and Christy
