Sustaining learning for library and information science through use of a virtual world

On Weds 3rd November at 12 noon SL time (which on that date is 7pm UK time, see http://tinyurl.com/37avuu2 for times elsewhere), in the virtual world, Second Life, Professor Diane Nahl (Adra Letov in SL, University of Hawaii) and Sheila Webber (Sheila Yoshikawa in SL, Sheffield University, i.e. me) will be giving the presentation that was previously delivered at the IFLA conference in August: Sustaining learning for library and information science through use of a virtual world. Only I was able to attend the IFLA conference in Gothenburg, so this is the first time we have actually presented it together!
The venue is Infolit iSchool, Second Life (you need the SL browser installed and a SL avatar to participate) http://slurl.com/secondlife/Infolit%20iSchool/126/239/21/
The full paper is at http://www.ifla.org/files/hq/papers/ifla76/123-webber-en.pdf and the original powerpoint at http://www.slideshare.net/sheilawebber/sustaining-learning-for-lis-through-use-of-a-virtual-world-4918718
