Libraries in Second Life

Libraries in Second Life Since I want to be a librarian, I wanted to find really interesting libraries with facts about new information or educational tools. I found a lot of libraries that did not have information cards or ways for students to find new information. the list I have complied is a great resource for teachers wanting to find books or new information on the web. 1. Ivory Tower Library of Primitives This library had great information on math concept. It had great notecards with a lot of information. Most of the information includes prisims and building new shapes. This resource will help students learn new math concepts or help them understand math in the real world. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Natoma/170/173/26 2. Cybrary City II Public Library This public library has one hundred great books and famous authors. Students can come here and find interesting and famous books. When they click on the book, they are taken to a website where they can download the book for free. This is great for teachers who are on a budget and cannot order print books. It's also interesting for the students since most live on the internet now a days. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Cybrary%20City%20II/88/161/22 3.
