A short update from Mary Hudson and Alison Williams, for the current snapshot, on library developments in Second Life at Southampton Solent University:

Solent Life 2 is the Library area of the 3 part Solent Life island developed for Southampton Solent University. It was developed by the Business Librarians as part of a funded project. In late 2009 a training session was organised for all interested library staff to learn more about Second Life and Solent Life in particular. 10 attended and our Learning Technologist trainer, took us through Virtual Ability for basic orientation and into Solent Life. As a result we can now offer multi-subject library and information skills support in Second Life and we look forward to meeting and working with a wider range of students and academic staff in there this year.
We hope to arrange follow up meetings and visits to keep everyone’s skills going and to keep interest in the site alive.
