We have been working to establish a new Tampa Library on Second Life on one of the USF Islands. Our main audience is faculty who are using Second Life to explore teaching and learning in virtual worlds. We want our library to fit with the environment while providing enough space for changing exhibitions and tools so that faculty can learning about library resources and services to enhance their instruction. This slide presentation was put together for a Florida Library Association Poster Session, April 8, 2010.
