I wanted to let you all know that Fern Leissa did a great job of presenting the Al Qantara Library project in the American Library Association (ALA) conference titled "The Future is Now: Libraries and Museums in Virtual Worlds" held in SL over this past weekend. (This was a professional conference where attendees registered and paid in advance to attend, otherwise it would have been announced.)
The poster session she presented took place on ALA Info Island, and will be on display until March 20, I believer. I've asked Fern to consider setting up the poster session and perhaps give her presentation to everyone after it is finished there. I was able to attend one of the sessions, and Fern's presentation and professionalism were the best given, and all the presenters were professionals!
Please join me in thanking Fern for her hard work on the Al Qantara library and for continuing to spread the word of the great projects being undertaken in Al Andalus and CDS.
