Today’s cover story in the Lansing State Journal features various Michigan ventures in Second Life, including MLC’s presence in Second Life.

The main focus of the story, Bev and David Lang of LTS Video, are old friends of Michigan libraries.  They produced the video, “Establishing a District Library,” for the Library of Michigan in 1990 and the promotional video, “AccessMichigan: the Michigan Electronic Library,” in 1998.  You can view their “virtual world” movies by Machinima on the website, http://www.silverandgoldie.com

Last fall, Evette Atkin of MLC conducted several free “Intro to Second Life” online seminars, and she will be offering additional sessions in April and May (to be added to our workshop calendar and registration system later this month).  Also, once Evette has completed construction of MLC’s new virtual building in Second Life later this spring, MLC will host a Grand Opening party.  Thanks, Evette, for all  your hard work to make MLC’s presence in Second Life a (virtual) reality!
