If you want to learn more about library and museum studies in Second Life, set your calendar for April 24-25 for the second annual “Virtual Worlds: Libraries, Education and Museums Conference” (VWLEM), sponsored by Alliance Library System. This conference will be held entirely online.
From their website, the purpose of the conference: “To provide a gathering place for librarians, information professionals, educators, museologists, and others to learn about and discuss the educational, informational, and cultural opportunities of virtual worlds.”
A few of the topics:
- The Immersive Virtual Natural History Experience
- Virtual Heritage Preservation, An Unfulfilled American Necessity
- Visual Representation of Chemical Data in Virtual Worlds
- Planning an Event in Second Life
- History-Related Sites and Museums in Second Life: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
While it’s a bit late notice for those who might be interested, registration is only $49 and helps cover costs for the operation of Alliance Virtual Library in Second Life.
