[Publib] Second Life 101 course

[Robert L. Balliot]

There are many libraries and library vendors represented
in SL.  There are virtual library buildings, library
instruction, staffing, databases, archive and museum
collections. In the sense that any of those things are
relevant to libraries, SL is.

As a caveat, high bandwidth is required for a good
end user experience in SL.  So, SL is not relevant to
all libraries or library users.  I think that its greatest
strength is virtual training and collaboration.  I have
enjoyed many of the programs and activities in SL and
meeting many librarians who have explored the virtual
possibilities.

OTOH, when I have used low bandwidth and even Verizon
DSL with the service, to me it is essentially without
value given lag and screen freezing.

Hi everyone,

But can someone tell me how Second Life is relevant to Libraries?
