But here goes: How is your proposal different from the way SLL works currently? I don’t know enough about the particulars of the current SL library initiatives to know if this is a dumb question.

But the last time I was there, the SLL had virtual furniture that looked like books on shelves, but they were like set pieces in a high school theater production of <i>My Fair Lady</i>--nothing to them. There were downloadable files in the library, but there was nothing like a functioning OPAC that I saw.

We are working on a catalog with what we can use in there to create an OPAC. We have world cat and now that there is open source we are talking to vendors about linking outside of Secoond Life to 3d objects, experiences and environemnts in Second Life through the OPAC. Maybe a dispay on a topic or peson that has been created, or a science exhibit. I think your idea is excellent and one I have heard several are looking at. Please join us in SLL where we hope to begin to work on this. It would hopefully take things down to the local level where local librarians could create things too. :) Lori Hi there.
