About the Community Virtual Library:

CVL is a real library run by real librarians. It provides free library resources and services to virtual world residents. Its space in Second Life includes a virtual library with open-source content. On Library Land, CVL also has exhibit, presentation, and meeting spaces available to CVL members and affiliated groups.

CVL’s librarians and other volunteers also conduct and publish virtual world research, participate in conferences, network with and connect education-oriented virtual communities, create and share resources, and build libraries and other information-oriented structures and exhibits for virtual communities.
