MMOs and digital libraries
MMOs are Massively Multiplayer Online Games. For an MLIS class, library student Timothy Greig looked at how these could relate to a Digital Library. He’s posted the slides and notes to Flickr. He’s from Christchurch in New Zealand.
It’s called What can digital libraries learn from Massively Multiplayer Online Games and pays particular attention to World of Warcraft. He gives tips about how a MMO Digital Library could use the interface style from a virtual world. I particularly liked his suggestion that avatars of more experienced library users could give tips on using the library to less experienced ones.
