[...] Since Lorelei Junot very nicely offered me a building in Cybrary City for Australian Libraries to share, we’ve been pottering about the building.

Hi Jude. I just emailed you. I have a contact in SL who is from the K-12 sector who I could introduce you to if you were interested. She probably knows heaps more people in the sector also.

We’d love your help..and hope to see you at the party on the 13th..if not before in SL

By the way – I love some of the suggestions you came up with Kathryn! I’m from the K-12 sector, and have 77 school libraries to introduce to SL!! I particularly want to explore school learning possibilities in SL – hence my offer to help in some way with the building – I’m keen to explore learning spaces in SL.

Sorry, missed getting back to you. My SL name is Heyjude Jenns. No I am not listed, I have just been wandering around SL on my own, and not getting involved at this stage. Does anyone want to chat with me about managing the space? I have resources that we can use. I’ll get quite involved next year…have had other projects that needed to be completed this year.
