Robin Mochi (a librarian from the USA) leads this discussion. "Free in-world
tools, such as Sloog and the Salamander HUD, can be used to take information
literacy to the next level. Librarians often supply links to quality websites,
with these tools we can share the best in-world resources. We will discuss
other possibilities for expanding information literacy in-world, and a tool
will be available for all to add to your inventory."
12 noon SL time (which is *8pm UK time*), **Tuesday 20th May** "Round about
Infolit iSchool", on Infolit iSchool (132, 194, 22), SLURL

Infolit iSchool is the Second Life island of the University of Sheffield, in
particular the Department of Information Studies. An informal session in which
I will answer questions about activities on the island (including, for people
who missed last week's session, about the activities with a first year class)
and discuss aims for the learning spaces on the island Infolit iSchool. Tours
for anyone who wants.
