Slide 51: Limits & Thresholds • Sytem Requirements & fast growth • Interface (takes time to learn) • “content management” poor • Interaction met Web still limited • Account & login needed • Public Image: sex, violence & gambling Central Medical Library, UMCG Digicmb.blogspot.com

Slide 52: But the positive thing is • Visual & Communities : Social environments • Web3D developments • Gaming & learning & training • Cooperation & collaboration Central Medical Library, UMCG Digicmb.blogspot.com

Slide 53: Some observations • (small) Libraries alone, is not optimal: you need large communities and/or mixed interest • Local, regional, national collaboration can work! • But international collaboration is more logical • Location and authority does matter, even in a virtual world • The personal touch still important • Extra dimension to communication & reference work Central Medical Library, UMCG Digicmb.blogspot.com

Slide 54: Invitatio n • Come and have a look at HealthInfo Island! • I will arrange special Tours for EAHIL members for free ;-) • There are options to explore SL for your Health organisation without costs!
