  • 1.  ACRL Virtual Worlds Interest Group Aug. 2012 Gridhop to Inworldz

    On August 12, 2012, the ACRL VWIG met in the virtual world of Second Life.  Over a dozen librarians jumped between worlds (gridhopped) from Second Life to Inworldz, an open source code virtual world.  The Community Library in Inworldz, created by SJSU Lecturer, Heather Ebey and colleagues, can be viewed in this animoto video:  http://animoto.com/play/zp91MAIF9z831h1dvNJ8Xg

    The next ACRL VWIG meeting will be held on Sept. 23 and will include a gridhop tour to Jokaydia.  For information, email Dr. Valerie Hill at vhilledu@gmail.com.
