A year on

Well, it's been a year out with other priorities (new baby), and beyond doing some teaching in SL during March-April, and a presentation at BMLG in June 2008, it has been quiet on the SL front. The presentation at BMLG looked at opportunities for SL in public libraries, and considered the steps taken by various libraries in the US to develop collections on their campuses.

Our DIS campus island is now defunct, as the University is now funding a new island (which is going through the 'ordering process'!) which will be used by various departments for experimentation. This should be interesting, and the University now has a 'special interest group' considering its development.

Two new PhD students are arriving this September, both of whom looking in part at SL and virtual worlds.
