EDINA (http://www.edina.ac.uk/) is a public-funded UK data centre, whose mission
is to "enhance the productivity of research, learning and teaching" in UK
colleges, universities and research institutes, with online services and
learning materials. Nikla Tokyoska (Nicola Osborne, Social Media Officer) and
Edina Taurog (Andrew Bevan, User Support Deputy Team Manager) will briefly
introduce EDINA and then want to chat about ideas around how they, as academic
service providers, could use SL (and perhaps other virtual worlds) to support
or extend EDINA's services.
This is part of the University of Sheffield Centre for Information Literacy
Research SL discussion series.
