No... it’s a 3D environment... “A virtual world like Second Life...  ... is NOT a game, serious or otherwise,  and referring to the work done in these spaces as games  LIMITS both the potential for the technology   and the work it is enabling. “ ?

2008 Trends Report Pope, Kitty. Trends Report 2008. Alliance Library System. Peoria, IL.  http://www.alliancelibrarysystem.com/pdf08/TrendsReport2008.pdf Why is virtual librarianship so controversial? “ Using an avatar is a very different way to meet and serve a library customer.  It takes time and effort to master the skills needed to be effective in this brave new world!” “ Every new technology or format has been controversial or threatening when first presented and virtual librarianship is no different.” “ Second Life requires a huge learning curve, great bandwidth and very new hardware.” “ Virtual librarianship is truly a global community.  It does not serve the traditional geographic boundaries of a public library.” “ The controversy owes much to a lack of understanding.  There are fears that this “game” will compete with traditional services.” “ Fears have been fed by some sensationalistic journalism and political motivations – they like to highlight the radical fringes that exist in virtual and real world librarianship.”

Peoria, IL. http://www.alliancelibrarysystem.com/pdf08/TrendsReport2008.pdf Why is virtual librarianship so controversial? “ Using an avatar is a very different way to meet and serve a library customer. It takes time and effort to master the skills needed to be effective in this brave new world!” “ Every new technology or format has been controversial or threatening when first presented and virtual librarianship is no different.” “ Second Life requires a huge learning curve, great bandwidth and very new hardware.” “ Virtual librarianship is truly a global community. It does not serve the traditional geographic boundaries of a public library.” “ The controversy owes much to a lack of understanding. There are fears that this “game” will compete with traditional services.” “ Fears have been fed by some sensationalistic journalism and political motivations – they like to highlight the radical fringes that exist in virtual and real world librarianship.”

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. I am Library. Bridging Worlds 2008 . Knowing . Learning . Sharing. October 16-17, 2008 . Singapore . Bernadette Daly Swanson . University of California Davis . HVX Silverstar in Second Life Watch the movie first: to be posted on http://www.youtube.com/hvxsilverstar and brought on computer to conference. The movie title, I am Library , reminds us that “Library” in a virtual world is by its nature about the people; the communities brought together through common interests. What are some of the issues and the ongoing challenges facing libraries as they consider the creation of a virtual presence? What does a library “feel like” in a virtual world? How are libraries integrating their Second Life presence with social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Delicious, YouTube, blogs and their existing web sites? Join us for this virtual world exploration and the new media demonstration, I am Library.
