Amazing place. Since said every Tuesday at 1:00 SL time they have a "building group" that learns how to develop objects in SL. Also, one of my students - thank you, Julie - posted this to our CUASLIS Twitter feeds on the iSchool at Illinois virtual worlds CE courses: http://www.lis.uiuc.edu/programs/cpd/VW/class.html Karen We toured NASA JPL’s Explorer Island with Jeanne Holm tonight.

As our project we have our space in world (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Hyeonjeong/38/231/34) in which we gather for classes, discuss issues of interests and this semester we are developing in world strategies for information skills development. within the Research Methods course that I teach. Students' response has been excellent and they want more. I hope LIS programs can collaborate more as SL integration into information science edcation increases.

I'm glad to see Second Life get positive recognition for the hard-working, supportive people who participate there. This includes working and retired Librarians, as well as Volunteers from all walks of life. Wonderful article!
