Educause Round Table - Libraries in SecondLife

Attended the Educause Round Table because Loreli Junot was speaking about libraries in SL. Unfortunately, the people at the meeting preferred to talk about their own ideas rather than listen to Loreli. Rather sad to hear people saying "What we need is...." when it was often something already available from ALS or elsewhere.

However, I think Loreli, DaisyBlue and Krull were able to get the idea across that ALS has some awesome services to offer and it would be an advantage for university libraries to join their cooperative reference project. Krull passed out a free search tool that looks very useful. Saw Sheila Y there.
