Charge: The Virtual Worlds Interest Group provides an opportunity for academic librarians with virtual environment interests and responsibilities to have a place in ACRL to network, share information, ask questions, and work on special projects, promote accessibility and provide programs relevant to academic libraries. The VW Interest Group also works to promote the various uses of virtual reality in all formats (desktop, mobile and headset) to potential and current academic librarians and to improve information literacy (metaliteracy) specifically in virtual spaces. The ACRL VWIG sponsors events, programs and meetings held mainly within the virtual world of Second Life and explores other developing Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality platforms in the evolving metaverse.

Digital Poetry Discussion and Upcoming Events

  • 1.  Digital Poetry Discussion and Upcoming Events

    Posted Dec 28, 2021 07:27 PM
    Hi ACRL Virtual Worlds Interest Group members,
    Digital poetry provides new ways to share poetry and our events for January and February will be interesting for all poetry lovers!
    On Jan 19th, we visit a CODE POETRY exhibition in Second Life at 9am Pacific Time.


    Then, on Feb 16th (the 3rd WED of the month) at 9am PST we will visit the SHORT POETRY WORKSHOP which is also in Second Life near the Community Virtual Library.  The Short Poetry Workshop has been archiving digital poems for over ten years and meets weekly.  A discussion about writing poetry in a virtual environment and the future of digital archival will be intriguing.
    Our meetings start here: 9-10am SLT (Pacific time) with time afterwards for conversation and networking
