Immersive Libraries and Museums. For more information please see the Journal of Immersive Education website http://JiED.org The Journal of Immersive Education (Immersive Education Libraries and Museums Technology Working Group (LAM.TWG)) is the source information referenced in the forthcoming writings.
The Libraries and Museums Technology Working Group (LIB.TWG) is ultimately responsible for the defining, implementing evolving and maintaining applications and open standards related to the provision of library and museum services associated with Immersive Education (Mission Statement)
Essentially, this group is tasked with taking the old fashioned brick and mortar library and museums and transforming them into virtual worlds where anyone, anywhere, at any time can come visit. Combining this with online education can take schooling to a whole new level.
The group's aim is to design and develop library and museum-specific, client-side virtual worlds. Design a platform of support, products and service to that end. Define and publish the best practices for IE in library and museum services, as well as defining and practicing interpretation of accompanying metadata.
The bar has been set by initiating research into immersive libraries and museums. Set up an optimal list of goals to best design them. Summarize ones now in use to use as a guide. Figure out the best way to set new ones up. Setting up a system to benefit at risk youth. Finally to maintain current digital libraries.
From a layman's view this seems like a long drawn out process, set up this and step up that to study how this will work and work on that. Seems like a lot of redundancy but hopefully it can be implemented quickly.
