SLL2 Cataloging Group
Second Life is a online 3D world with more than 7 million members. Several virtual libraries have been set up within Second Life, including the SecondLife Library 2.0, Caledon Branch Library, Teen Library, Consumer Health Library, and Medical Library. The purpose of the SLL2 Cataloging Group is to create a catalog system that can be used to provide access to the resources of the Second Life libraries. The group's correspondence can be found here
