Hello to the museum world from the library world. While the following courses were designed with librarians in mind, I believe they might be useful to those in the museum field who are venturing into Second Life. There is quite a bit of crossover to museum exhibits in the course.

There is STILL TIME TO REGISTER for the September Virtual World Librarianship courses. Seats are available in all sections of both the Introduction and Intermediate Virtual World Librarianship in Second Life courses.
