Virtual worlds such as Second Life are growing at incredible
rates. Learn
what Second Life is and about the InfoIsland Library Project
that has now
become an archipelago of more than 20 large islands in less
than a year.
Discover the opportunities and challenges of working in this
type of
environment and why a presence in this kind of environment
may or may not be
beneficial for your library.
The program is free but there is a $15 charge for dinner.
Students, between
jobs and retired pay $12 for dinner. On the menu: wraps and
salad.
Reservations, please by Friday, November 9, 2007! We need
the list of
attendees for parking arrangements. For reservations
