Here is the first part of a talk by David Rumsey about the transformation of his library of historical maps into digital format. This is a great example of someone tapping into the huge potential of digital media.
It is exciting to see Rumsey’s engagement with Second Life. Here in New Zealand there are a number of initiatives to use Second Life in tertiary education, and I think there is a great (as yet largely untapped) opportunity for libraries to participate in Second Life learning projects as well.
