Karuna Resource Center in Second Life

This video was a test to see if Jing (http://www.jingproject.com/) would work well enough to upload short videos of my work in the Karuna Resource Center in Second Life to YouTube.

The video was kept very short to also test the posterous autopost feature while using the posterous bookmarklet on (posterous.com), which I have set to send to twitter and flickr as well (flickr videos must be under 30 sec).

My intent is to use this tool as a means of promoting newly created displays of information resources on HIV/AIDS. (I may end up creating 60 sec. videos and bypassing flickr.)

About Karuna: The National Library of Medicine awarded Alliance Library System a grant for a project entitled "AIDS Information and Outreach in the Virtual World of Second Life." The project includes the creation of a new island, called Karuna, has a community HIV/AIDS center and a library/resource center which will provide information support and outreach to the Second Life community and beyond about HIV/AIDS and its prevention.

(In Second Life I am the Karuna Consumer Health Librarian, Robin Mochi. In first life I am an academic librarian in a small private liberal arts university.)
