Nebraska joins the State Library party on SL
Submitted by dcornwall on Tue, 2007-05-08 13:57.
The Nebraska Library Commission has announced a grand opening of their Second Life presence.
To the best of my personal knowledge, Nebraska is the third State Library Agency to set up shop in Second Life, following Kansas and South Carolina.
I did not see any reference to government information in Nebraska's announcement, but the Library is planning a rotating photo exhibit. Photo exhibits seemed to work well for Kansas and I wish this new effort well.
The big party is May 11, 3-5pm Central Time. I won't make it then because I can't install the Second Life client at work, but I will try to visit the NLC building and get back to you.

Scenes from NE's SL grand opening
Shannon White of the Nebraska Library Commission posted a note and some pictures from NLC's grand opening of their Second Life branch on May 11, 2007.
According to Shannon,
"The Library Commission building includes all types of information about what the NLC does here in Nebraska as well as an exhibit space outside and on the second floor highlighting the Nebraska Memories digitization project. Visitors can get information about the state of Nebraska, receive a free NLC t-shirt, read up on Network Services staff’s favorite Second Life activities, and visit NLC statewide projects such as NebraskAccess."
The Nebraska Library Commission is eager to discuss their new venture:
"If you have questions about Second Life, please feel free to give us a call, post to our blog, email, IM or whatever you need to talk with us about this new environment and the possibilities for libraries within it."
If you stop by their branch, tell us what you think. Especially if you see anything about NE State Documents.
