Presented July 23, 2007
"In pursuing innovation, librarians can encounter a variety of challenges,
limitations, resource deficits, and policy and procedures obstacles. Faced with
such factors, an individual must choose: stop trying or get creative. This
session will discuss the UIUC Library's Second Life initiative as a case study of
persistence and creativity in continued pursuit of innovation when success was
not immediate but progress is possible and indeed is occurring (even if more

practical strategies - for making things happen." More info....
