For this "thing" we had to make an avatar. Here is mine--it was made using DoppelMe, one of the suggested avatar makers. I wasn't really impressed with the options available to free users; there were a lot of options that you had to pay for, but I wasn't really willing to do that just for an avatar. I'm not really sure how avatars would be useful to librarians, but I know that librarians are very active on Second Life and other virtual worlds. I have tried some similar programs, such as the game Sims to create virtual people, worlds, and other things of that nature, but haven't really been able to get into it. I'd rather just live my life in the real world.How have you used virtual worlds or avatars? Has your library used them? Are you a virtual reference person in Second Life or in a similar game? Let me know your thoughts.
