Pam, that's great! Is the teaching you do in SL a "regularly scheduled" class or more a drop in type? Are you finding it vastly different from the process in other venues?

I have a grant to do information literacy teaching in SL and explore the potential.

Hi folks,
Is everyone here actively working as a librarian in SL or are you enjoying SL for yourselves & exploring the potential?

"OK, I have some clue about how librarians in SL make links to RL, but how are resources in SL indexed?"

I only joined this group yesterday, so I'm just learning about them so far myself, but there is a discussion on this topic at:

OK, I have some clue about how librarians in SL make links to RL, but how are resources in SL indexed? Linden Lab doesn't seem to have a good handle on that. For instance, I always have to search Google for their own website. And the Search mode in SL isn't very forgiving to peeps who missssspell or use typonese.
