Question: Virtual Libraries

[Malakia Oglesby]

Speaking of Second Life.

 

Does anyone know of a website or some other source that lists the libraries
in Second Life (SL)?  I've come across a few in my virtual SL travels but
most have been University libraries.  I'm interested in knowing what public
libraries have a Second Life presence.  I know I can always use the SL
search but just wondered if anyone had compiled a list. 

 

In the same way that we (as librarians and library support staff) are
integrating other technologies (digital libraries, mobile apps, ebooks and
ebook readers, etc.) I think it'd be great to be able to point out how
libraries are using this kind of technology to reach, support, and provide
information to "virtual" patrons. 

 

If there is no such list or source out there already I'd be more than happy
to start compiling one.

To me, the term "virtual libraries" means libraries in immersive/virtual
environments, like Second Life and Open Sim.

When you think of the term "virtual libraries" what do you think of?
