    Zoe Foodiboo & Steadman Kondor: Library Quilt Exchange


    The Community Quilt Exchange Project is an initiative that aims to connect virtual world libraries and communities through collaborative creativity.  Zoe Foodiboo and Steadman Kondor will describe how the 1920s Berlin Project wove a virtual quilt together and will share their vision to reach out to other virtual communities to do the same.


     


    Zoe Foodiboo is the Head Librarian of the 1920s Berlin's Offentliche Bibliothek (public library), serving a community that reenacts daily life in Weimar Germany.  In RL, she is a museum archivist based in Hawaii.
