New Display-World Health Organization & HIV/AIDS in Second Life Karuna Resource Center
Just completed a new World Health Organization display by adding a stand with object to click for a new report by Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and World Health Organization (WHO) 2009 PDF "AIDS epidemic update December 2009" which can be found:
For those not using Second Life (SL), the three other images displayed on objects here take Karuna RC visitors to the following World Health Organization HIV/AIDS information pages: http://www.who.int/hiv/en/ http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2009/world_aids_20091130/en/inde... http://www.who.int/hiv/events/implementers2009/en/index.html
Those not familiar with SL may wonder what the point is of my work here since this information exists on the web already. I think about my position as the Karuna Consumer Health Librarian in terms of serving as a type of digital curator. Yes, the information exists on the web, but I carefully choose, upload and maintain what I display using criteria based on the needs of SL users and visitors to the Karuna Island (HIV/AIDS National Library of Medicine grant funded island).
Does this make sense? Suggestions/comments/criticisms are welcome.
