Talking, looking, flying, searching: A research report on information seeking behavior in Second Life

MLIS candidate Margaret Ostrander (SL: 'Testy Outlander') presented this research project on April 22. A recording will shortly be available at http://librariandreamer.wordpress.com/Does a 3D immersive environment suggest new models of information seeking behavior? Just how are people getting at information in virtual worlds? What does this mean for libraries and librarians? At this event, I will share my research findings about at how people in Second Life seek information. This presentation will use voice and will be recorded.
