Glimpse the Future

Libraries have often been on the cutting edge of introducing new technologies - change is essential if we are to continue to provide information for the modern student in the format, time and place that they need and expect it.

Virtual worlds are intended for its users to inhabit and interact, and the term today has become largely synonymous with interactive 3D virtual environments, where the users take the form of avatars visible to others graphically.
