The clients of the virtual library in the online society "Second Life" will soon have some new services, including WorldCat and QuestionPoint, thanks to the initiative of Lori Bell of the Alliance Library System in Illinois.
This six-month pilot, intended to start next month, is a striking example of putting library services where your users are. Lori wants to determine how these services could be used in alternative realities.

PLEASE NOTE: This blog ceased being updated on August 30, 2010. A blog from five OCLC staff about all things present and future that impact libraries and library users. A conversation that starts with the Environmental Scan and wanders around from there. This content is not vetted by OCLC. Everything you read is purely the personal reflections about what's going on in libraryland, informed by our birds-eye views from the center of the WorldCat universe (Dublin, Ohio, USA and beyond).
