Thing #15: Online Games & Libraries

I've been an avid Sims player for a few years, and Second Life reminded me of it, so I chose that as my option to investigate. I have to admit, I had trouble navigating it and making my way to Info Island, and once I got there, had trouble finding what I wanted to find. Probably needed to look at a tutorial, but time is tight at the Reference Desk, so I didn't go about learning Second Life in a methodical way. Just sort of looked around.

I do understand the underlying principle, however, and I think it has exciting possibilities for libraries. It would be a good way of presenting our online resources in a visual way, and looks like it could be fun, as well.
