- Using "Second Life" in School Librarianship Perez, Lisa Library Networks Library Services School Libraries Library Science Electronic Libraries Computer Simulation Librarians Computer Software Information Services In this article, the author discusses using Second Life (SL) in school librarianship. SL is a multi-user virtual environment in which persons create avatars to allow them to move and interact with other avatars. They can build and manipulate objects. To move, they can walk, run, fly, or teleport. There are many areas within SL to allow people to meet, learn, talk, and roleplay. SL is operated by a company called Linden Labs, located in California. The Alliance Library System of Peoria, Illinois, can be credited for its early work in nurturing the library community in SL. This library system has provided leadership and community development for dozens of libraries around the world.
