Welcome to Cybrary City; Setting Up Library Areas

A new blog at infoisland.org has recently posted this announcement about how to set up a library in Cybrary City on Second Life:

"The mayor of Cybrary City, Paul Miller of Talis, will officially welcome Cybrary City residents and other interested librarians on Wed, December 6 at 2:30 pm sl time, 4:30 central, and 5:30 Eastern to welcome everyone. The welcome will be held on the plaza in front of the new conference center. After the welcome, we will briefly discuss guidelines for your areas and divide you into groups who will work with BlueWings Hayek and Eiseldora on how to do things to set up your places the way you would like. I know there is no time that is good for everyone. We will schedule another time soon after that if you cannot make this one. I know many have questions about guidelines and how to set up so I wanted to go ahead and get this scheduled. "

So if you are interested in setting up a library, please log in on Dec 6th.

New and upcoming

The newest site I've found this week is http://teacherlibrarian.ning.com If you have wondered about what kids addiction is with social networking sites-this is for you! This site is dedicated to Teacher Librarians-you can invite a friend, post images or videos-the site is great. This one was started by Joyce Valenza. Another one is Chris Harris's Library 2.0 http://library20.ning.com/ If you join both it links them together. Chris's network is for librarians interested in what a library can offer to it's patrons that involved today's technology. They are both great websites. You can browse or lurk for free. If you wonder what the buzz is, check them out! I am still getting ready for SLMS 2007. I am very bummed that my program is opposite Chris's since I like to attend his presentations. Maybe I can talk him into podcasting or posting a video at YouTube!
