First week in as ALA Prez

Been writing, organizing, meeting, and planning.
Yesterday my Second Life trainer, Jo Sanchez, stopped by. He helped Mukwa Dibou teleport to some locations in information island. I found a reference desk and stopped by to chat. Joe is doing some interesting work and will be teaching one of our undergraduate classes in SL this fall. Here's some of his papers that have recently been accepted:
