.“This is probably the first comprehensive book about MUVEs to focus on libraries and education. ...
Those who read [it] and then dive in to experience these worlds ...
will be better prepared to evaluate the opportunities that will emerge in the coming years.
We might not even be at the beginning of the beginning.” —Stephen Abram From the Foreword

“Challenges our preconceptions of virtual librarianship and explores the
possibilities for a variety of future library services.”
—Jenny Levine The Shifted Librarian

“This is not just a collection of extraordinary stories. It’s an operatingmanual for success!”
—Claudia L’Amoreaux Education Programs Manager, Linden Lab
