Second Life: an Introduction for CUNY Libraries
Kari Swanson, Yale University Library
Second Life is a 3-dimensional online environment populated by graphical representations (avatars) of over 1 million people. The virtual environment of Second Life offers the potential for radical changes in the way information and services are provided and also in the way librarians, library users and information interact. Librarians in Second Life are collaborating with users to bring them resources and services in numerous areas, including science, in traditional and new, innovative ways.
Kari Swanson (Kari Meadowbrook in Second Life) will provide an introduction to Second Life, including a demonstration of basic Second Life functionality, and tours of the Second Life Library 2.0 project and the library on the NMC Campus whose design was inspired by the Beinecke Library. See how virtual librarianship is taking on whole new forms.
Date: Friday, March 2, 2-4pm
Location: Graduate Center, Room 6418
