The document discusses the use of virtual worlds and multiplayer online games in academic environments. It notes that today's students are "digital natives" who are comfortable in online spaces. Many librarians have created a presence in Second Life to provide reference services on virtual islands like Info Island. Kean University also has a presence on Cybrary City in Second Life.

Given the set of problems and puzzles we have been observing in virtual worlds, and the themes that weave them together, we have begun to sketch out a conceptual and theoretical framework to better understand virtual worlds and their evolution. The starting point, we argue, is to see the story of virtual worlds as one of field flux and evolution. This puts our efforts in line with institutional and organization theory, especially Davis and Marquis’ recent suggestion that problem-driven research should be like a natural history of the institutions of capitalism. We also are adopting their suggestion of using mechanisms as a way to evade some problems with black box theorizing about the ways in which actors and codes at different levels interact to account for particular organizational and field level outcomes. Hence, we are using familiar concepts about fields and the “pillars” of institutional theory- the rules, laws, and codes that enable and constrain actors. However, we are adding a newer (or at least more recently rediscovered) tool from the org theory tool kit: mechanisms. Finally, we are doing this for a domain that poses some idiosyncratic issues. Virtual worlds are an emerging field within a wider field (cyberspace) that is already in flux; moreover, we are dealing with organizations that can only be understood as constellations of worlds-within-worlds due to their constituent complexity. The internal complexity of the VWs has made them quite literally worlds within worlds. Crucially, these are not hermetically sealed terrariums. The flow of people, information, money, and digital objects is an essential feature of the worlds within worlds quality of VWs. In this paper, we will describe a set of concepts that together make a framework for adequately describing virtual worlds in terms of institutional theory and evolution. This framework leads to proposing two critical co-evolutionary dynamics that will drive the worlds and their field. We will discuss what adaptation and adaptive capability means in this situation with coevolutionary dynamics in an emerging and turbulent field. Using grounded theory and a variety of qualitative data sources has brought us to this point. We will discuss a few preliminary case studies and what they real about adaptation for virtual worlds.

It introduces virtual worlds and their increasing significance to the library and educational communities, show-casing the work of the Alliance Virtual Library (AVL) founded and coordinated by the Alliance Library System of Peoria, Illinois, USA. Over the last 2.5 years, AVL has explored what it would be like to provide library services in virtual worlds, beginning with one librarian on a parcel of virtual land to a footprint that now comprises 50 islands, the virtual equivalent of 1.26 square miles, the size of Angel Island, standing proud and strong in the San Francisco Bay. What are some of the issues and ongoing challenges facing libraries as they consider the creation of a virtual presence? What does a library “feel like” in a virtual world? (see accompanying video) How are libraries integrating Second Life with social networking sites such as FaceBook, Twitter, Delicious, YouTube, blogs and their existing web sites? Join us for this virtual world exploration and new media demonstration, I am Library.

AIIP Webinar: Virtual Worlds

Jill Hurst-Wahl

This webinar will introduce AIIP members to virtual worlds in general, and Second Life specifically. With hundreds of millions of dollars being invested in virtual worlds each year, virtual worlds are becoming second homes for corporations, government agencies, universities, not-for-profit agencies, and everyday people. Virtual worlds (VW) are being used by every age group and culture. As they evolve, there is the possibility that a VW will be our next browser interface. With all of this activity and potential, this presentation and discussion will focus on the activities that are occurring, the potential future promises and why information professionals need to be involved.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.

DOT TECH

The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future: Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS. 1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place. 2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become. 3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential. 4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future. 5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies. 6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network. 7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability. It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

As of my last update, Pi is still in the testing phase and is not tradable on any exchanges. However, Pi Network has announced plans to launch its Testnet and Mainnet in the future, which may include listing Pi on exchanges. The current method for selling pi coins involves exchanging them with a pi vendor who purchases pi coins for investment reasons. If you want to sell your pi coins, reach out to a pi vendor and sell them to anyone looking to sell pi coins from any country around the globe.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population aging

GRAPE

We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.
