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?
