Libraries into virtual worlds
It seems as if the “avatars” (the name with they are known, the inhabitants of a virtual world) also needs libraries, and that’s why in Second Life (the 3D virtual world that has been constructed since 2003 by its inhabitants) it has been created a library. Lori Bell is behind the project, presented in april. She runs the innovation area in the Alliance Library System, and her main aim is to promote both, real and online libraries services for those adults that are not users of a library in any other way. A group of “avatars”, controled by voluntary librarians are working in the new library and they talk about very similar services to those in the real world. they are also working in the incorporation of tools from the known Biblioteca 2.0.
