Thinking outside the box...inside the box.
Steve Lawson of the See Also... blog posted about his first SL Library experience last night. Since he's more of an SL n00b than I am, I was eager to hear his comments and they're all worth a read. (The post made me wish I'd actually logged in last night but I was too buy watching Bones and being sucked into a great book. Are at least one of those a good excuse?)

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.

And I can't remember the last time I felt like such a n00b, either! I'm very grateful that everyone at SLL2 has been very welcoming.
I'm wondering if I can get away with logging in to SL tonight from the reference desk....Probably not.
