INFO LIT ISLAND

WELCOME TO INFO LIT ISLAND

As you can see in the cover image and below:Info lit Island is a virtual library with classrooms off the main campus.In physical reality it would be inconvenient to have the library separated from campus,But in virtual reality it is a short flight over the water.

THE LIBRARY HAS IVY LEAGUE STYLE ARCHITECTURE

• Being virtual reality, I could choose a more modern style• I chose the Ivy League appearance because I

think it makes the building look distinguished.• The blending of virtual emerging technologies

and the “look” of an established educational institution.• This impression is traditionally conducive to

learning and studying.• It would be fun to go to a virtual Harvard or

Columbia University

THE FACADE ON THE LEFT IS A “REAL” LIBRARY AND THE ONE ON THE RIGHT IS

A VIRTUAL LIBRARY.

SIMILAR TO MY VISION

INTERIOR OF THE LIBRARY

• Library stacks should be big, high and spacious.• The library should be traditionally furnished and

arranged.• Access to books in the upper stacks can be reached

by flying.• The following slide is an example of my vision of the

type of library I envision.• The image on the right is from Harvard University –

which is the desired look.• The image is the best virtual image I could find, I

would like the virtual library to look more like the Harvard Stacks.

THE INTERIOR OF THE LIBRARY:REAL AND VIRTUAL

THE INFO LIT CLASSROOMS

• Info lit classrooms will be in the library building• The classrooms will be lecture center type rooms

in the basement of the library.• The reason for the lecture center rooms is so

many virtual students can inhabit the space.• This is a required course, enrollment should be

high.• Multimedia features built into the coursework.• Even if you are sitting in the back, you can zoom

into the professor, smart board or other teaching tools.

THE INFO LIT CLASSROOMS:REAL AND VIRTUAL

SOCIAL SPACES

• Just like a library, Info Lit Island has places for students to chat and exchange ideas.• The image on the left obviously “real” college

students mingling while they study.• The image on the right is a student walking into

the student lounge in second life ready to chat.
