Drexel's Hagerty Library invites members of the University community
to join us for a special "Two Worlds Pre-Halloween Party" on Friday,
October 23rd from 6-7:00 P.M. The name of the event refers to the fact
that participants will meet both in real time and online during this
special event. Participants will have a short introductory session on
creating Second Life characters known as "avatars." Then it gets
creative - with an open period to explore options for creating your
avatar's Halloween costume. Guests will also tour "Drexel Island," (a
site that was created jointly by the University's College of Arts and
Sciences and the Drexel Library) and get tips on finding other Second
Life sites. A number of prizes will also be given away during this
event for the best SL costume devised and conclude with refreshments.
The party will be held in the Classroom L-13 in the lower level of the
Library.
RSVP to sif...@drexel.edu. Seating limited to the first two dozen
attendees!
The idea for this event was conceived by Information Services
Librarian and Second Life enthusiast Tim Siftar. Asked to explain the
appeal of Second Life, Siftar said;
"Second Life is a complex alternative world where participants fly
through the air, assume new identities and ultimately are limited only
by the scope of their imaginations. It also has enormous potential as
a tool for learning and education, which makes it particularly
interesting to University professors and librarians. I urge all
interested members of the Drexel community to join us for this event
on October 23rd."
