Librarians in Second Life
Librarians are collaborating in the virtual world of Second Life through the creation of the Alliance Virtual Library and ALA Island. This allows librarians around the world to share ideas through blogs and reference help 24/7. The Alliance Virtual Library offers exhibits, events, and discussions as well as virtual classrooms, conferences, and research opportunities to educate and collaborate without barriers.
