MIQ answers most questions and has a disclaimer about not providing medical, tax, or legal advice. Questions are limited to 160 characters; answers to 320 characters. Nearly 70 libraries are participating, across the US and now Canada. Volume: July April 2010: 8,055.

Who accepts questions via SMS Text?

Seeking Out New Worlds……..

Virtual World Reference

What is Second Life? A 3-D online, virtual, digital world imagined, created, and owned by its residents. Linden Lab provides the platform. SL is populated by millions of residents. SL is a complete world with communities, cultures, events, services, businesses, recreation, buildings, and music. SL is used increasingly for meetings and education.

The Art of Reference in a Virtual World “Are you really a librarian??” 40 volunteers working 80 hours per week. Questions are lower than actual—not all report. Most questions are environmental in nature (not uncommon in traditional libraries) 10-13% are physical world questions. Jan-May ,151 residents have interacted with a librarian. Volume in 2008 topped 11,000; 4380 in 2009.

Other Places Answers are Provided

Not to mention…….

“You're here today No future fears……”

The Future is………WILD

Quotes are from the Moody Blues, Days of Future Past released on Deramic Records, November “Cold hearted orb that rules the night…. Removes the colours from our sight…. Red is grey and yellow, white…. But we decide which is right And which is an illusion.”
