Doors are off…
Second Life is a clunky and crude kind of world, compared to most games. It is, however, a good place to learn how a library can “be” in a virtual world. We are still working out how to balance opening up access to our virtual services with appearing “real”. Take doors, for example.
During a building move, the doors accidentally weren’t put back on a building in Cybrary City. The result? People felt more welcome and there were more visitors.
I asked Abbey Zenith to take the front doors off the Australian Libraries building, but the back ones are still on. I’d be interested to know what people think- put the front doors back on, take back doors off, keep as is? Here’s a picture, which is really just an excuse to show off my new look avatar.
