Teen Second Life: Library Services in a 3D World
Presented by
Kelly Czarnecki, Technology Education Librarian for Teens and Youth,
ImaginOn, the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County
Tuesday, May 22, 2007, 11 a.m. – noon Eastern / 8 a.m. – 9 a.m. Pacific
Have a look inside this new world just for teens.
Second Life has created a grid just for teens. They can do the same things as on the adult grid – fly, design clothes, make movies, build their own house, stream music, and more – but the grid is for teens only. Learn how this immersive space can help keep library services relevant to teens.
