<strong></strong>The technology of virtual worlds is opening up new
possibilities
for students and lifelong learners. Many experts say we are moving from
the era of the two-dimensional page to the era of three-dimensional
virtual worlds. The second annual Virtual Worlds: Libraries, Education
and Museums Conference provides a gathering place for librarians,
information professionals, educators, museologists, and others to learn
about and discuss the educational, informational, and cultural
opportunities of virtual worlds. The conference will be held on April
24-25, 2009. For more information and to register, go to the
conference website at <a

Registration is $49 and helps cover costs for the operation of Alliance
Virtual Library in Second Life.
