Great toy for our party…Library 2.0 ideas generator
Exciting news at the end!!
Oh adventures, adventures. It’s being with other people that makes Second Life worthwhile. A mob of old buildings without people are boring, but with other people, it’s magic.
Here’s a couple of snapshots from the last two days.
I never get to sit on the pink hippos at home!
A spontaneous outside meeting, discussing how to get universities involved in Second Life, and how the Kansas State Library is now holding their staff meetings (for all staff) in Second Life. We were suddenly turned upside down.

The tie dyed OPAC ball - this interrogates the holdings of the University of Huddersfield when you enter a search in the chat window (eg. “/1 search Cloudstreet”). It also checks the patron database for your second life name and tells you if you have loans, requests or fines.

Library 2.0 Ideas generator. I lost hours of my day when this first came out in July. Just clicking and rotfl. He’s now embedded it in a granite monolith. Your avatar can touch it and it will create a Library 2.0 idea..just for you.
Here’s the great thing..the generator is in our library building..right now.
Dave is very kindly lending it to us as a toy for the party. We have the dance floor, we have the music. I can hand out party hooters and sparklers and a wicked vodka that will have your av. falling down drunk..Lori Bell is getting up at 3am to give us a tour of Info Island…maybe some other SL folk will turn up,too. I’m looking forward to it. (Note to self..double check the prim limit…in case you’ve gone over)
Dave dances on the couch to my dance machine. I generate some L2.0 ideas with his generator. Seems fair.
