    Please join the ALA ACRL Virtual Worlds Interest Group for the December program.  Joe Floyd and Ilene Frank (SL:  Joe Cupola, Ilene Pratt) will present, in Second Life, a version of their poster session from the ALA Annual Conference last
    summer - "Beyond Second Life: New Immersive Worlds for Educators and Librarians".  They explored how librarians and educators are using Second Life, but also explored several other virtual world options, including OpenSim grids.

    If you didn't make it to ALA annual and didn't get to see the poster session, this is a great opportunity to learn about immersive virtual world options.  Get out your avatar and join us.
