Hi all

Here is a link to an article about University College, Dublin, which has just started a presence in Second Life.

Yahoo and YouTube videos

I've had a look around the Yahoo video site, and there are a lot of library instructional videos listed there. Unfortunately, when I clicked on them many were no longer available.

However, I've also had a look at YouTube, and found this video about 'Taking on a Second Life'. It shows the Info Island, but has no speech, just background music.



I also found a short video that defends the Dewey Decimal system (humourous)

Brief article about use of Second Life by libraries

This article discusses an exhibition of materials from The Belle Brezing Photographic Collection at University of Kentucky which is available in Second Life.

I know we have not looked at Second Life yet, but thought I would post this now!
