Do you have a Second Life?

For a little while I was really interested in Second Life. This is an online forum where you create an avatar and navigate a virtual world by flying. Volunteer librarians from around the world have created a library island. The most interesting thing I found when I was looking into Second Life was they have visitors in the thousands each day. I heard this in a podcast and can’t quite remember the total number they gave. I thought this related to the “Slam the boards” outreach that librarians did, only in a different way. I think that these librarians have really accepted and found a way to embrace the new technologies that surround us.
