*ACCESS THROUGH PRESERVATION AND DOCUMENTATION*

SJSU SLIS/VCARA is pleased to invite you to the 5th Annual VCARA Conference
in the virtual world of Second Life. There are many ways to share wisdom
and culture in both the physical and virtual worlds.  Attend this
conference to learn how those presenting provide access to stories,
educational experiences, administrative publications, historical events,
and more.

At 5:30 pm SLT Geoffrey Giglierano will set the stage for the conference by
speaking about Building a Shared Narrative:  Living, Learning and
Storytelling in Virtual Communities.  John Jamison will follow at 6 pm with
an example of providing a learning experience in virtual worlds with an
overview of the Lincoln Walks Project and a comparison of Second Life and
Unity 3D.

At 6:30 PM SLT, participants will enter the VCARA Walkway to attend
presentations on a number of diverse but related topics,
