Thinking outside the box...inside the box.
We now have a garden at Alliance Second Life Library 2.0 with a gazebo, lots of flowers, trees, and a water fountain. We have also built a smaller building for librarians to practice building and decorating in. Namro is developing a great new service I will let you tell him about. Let us know what you think of the gardens.

Second Life is a 3-D virtual world entirely built and owned by its residents. Since opening to the public in 2003, it has grown explosively and today is inhabited by over 600,000 people from around the globe. There are shopping malls, events, homes, lands of different types, and best of all, participants can contribute content, buildings, and other digital creations.
Alliance Library System and OPAL are teaming up to utilize the programs currently offered online to librarians and library users to extend the programs to the Second Life virtual reality world. Although there are a couple of libraries currently on Second Life, none currently offers programs or services. Alliance and OPAL will start with programs and eventually hope to offer library services.

Hi Lori,
I am just experimenting and sometimes thinking out loud. Please read the note in the orange Medlib toolbox -;)

I recall meeting a lot of Library Science students at DU (once known as moo.du.org - although like most moo's it now seems defunct)
The freeform chaos found in some common areas reminds me quite a bit of DU.
