Abstrakt:	The article provides information on the effort of the Alliance Library System to provide libraries and library-related services to all the residents of Second Life. Second Life is a virtual world entirely built and owned by its residents, or users. New participants discover a vast digital land, teeming with people, entertainment, and opportunities. After exploring, individuals might decide to buy land, purchase a home, or start a business. In Second Life, residents are surrounded by the creations of fellow residents. Participants in Second Life build an avatar, or alternate persona, to actively participate in the creation of media instead of the more passive modes of watching television or viewing a static webpage.
