Librarians on Second Life
Robin Peek delves into the virtual worlds that test the limits of online gaming.
This is yet another half-baked article on Second Life. Ms. Peek states that "very few are coming; it is similar to a library ghost town". The truth is, that the library islands have over 4000 visitors a day, and over 300 volunteers. It looks like she spent a few hours touring the island and drew her conclusions without actually interviewing a librarian there, attending an event, joining a group, or learning how to view the traffic.
Too bad.
I can't provide a link to the article, it is available through ProQuest
