Well, that was quite fun! I'm glad I attended both set times as I met different avatars at each one. Darn if someone didn't ask to see my project. Oh well, it'll be wonderful when I finish it! :-) Loved the bumper cars, dancing, sparklers, etc. Even tried out the bar. Didn't get to play with the jukebox. Next time! :-)
Hope y'all had fun too. And it was great meeting everyone!

How's everyone doing with their individual projects? I'm having trouble figuring out where to begin. I know what my content will be (FCIL resources in SL) and I know the model I will use (Anne Idler's Nova spot). But I'm not sure where to begin. Should my project reside in my office space? Wht are y'all doing?

Hi all - I'm been trying to find a spot to emerge in when I log into Second Life. I've been using the workshop parcel as my "home" (especially as the two Orientation Islands I used to call "home" seem to have folks just hanging around (loitering?) there), but do y'all have favorite other spots? Thanks!

| swall-pll | What is a 3D collection? | 4 | May 17 2008, 10:55 AM EDT by dmurley | ||||

I agree with what most of these folks are saying: so far the majority of the collections are still two-dimensional, things that can easily be reproduced on a web page. Links, photos, audio files. And that is fine as we are learning our way through this very new environment. But the next step is how do we actually utilize the three-dimensional environment in information? As one person said, the islands and collections that reproduce environments are on the right track. Off the top of my head, I'm thinking of the Globe Theatre on Renaissance Island. As a theatre person, that has the potential of being a very useful "display" for me because it goes beyond drawings or photos on a page. The next step would be, how could we use it to impart information to visitors?
I have loved being in SL these last couple of years. Being able to meet new colleagues from around the world in 3D seems to bring more sense of personality to who these people really are, and I think that is wonderful for networking. But now I'm at the point where I'm saying, ok, as a librarian what ELSE can I do with this? Hence, the reason I'm taking this workshop. :-)

I decided to edit my office-sign cube to match my new bookshelves and stack the cube on top. But the cube won't stack; it hovers over the bookshelf. Is that because of the sign script?

Okay, I spent some time yesterday shopping at the freebie sites and teleporting everywhere. All I want is two chairs and a sofa or table for my office, cheaply. Where can I get those without using up my now 198 Linden dollars? Thanks!

here's an interesting article from the creators of the International Justice Center in Second Life (http://www.justicecenter.net/):
How do you use a virtual world to stimulate action in the real world (in ways that are not better done on the traditional Internet)? http://www.holymeatballs.org/2008/05/what_activates_people.html This resonates with me because I have spent some time trying to decide what ways SL can be used for law librarianship and instruction that are not better done on the traditional Internet (or indeed in person). The article concludes that SL is no better (and in fact less useful) for putting people in touch with their representatives or gathering donations, but that it is promising for connecting people and outreach (viral marketing). |

Thank you for info about places to visit. I think it's really craetive how people have been setting up their spaces. I do think that some of the spaces could use more content though.

someone asked about this. The link has pretty nice instructions -- it's a bit over my head, since I've never tried to make a skin before! but if you're interested, check it out.
