What: Pancha Enzyme will lead a discussion about providing information services
for learners in Second Life. Pancha is a librarian at Edinburgh University and
also part of a SL teaching team. She and her colleagues have developed the "IS
cream van" as one approach to meeting information needs and questions. She will
talk about this (and probably let you see the van!), and we will also be
interested in hearing about others' approaches and ideas.
