Question: Virtual Libraries

[Norma Jean Hewlett]

Thanks, Allison! And many, many thanks to everybody who helped compile
that list of SecondLife libraries!

At the recent ALA meeting on SecondLife, we discussed whether it might
be possible to make a list of libraries on other virtual worlds. So
far, we've heard about 2. Does anybody know of others?

aka Riven Homewood
