Visitors to the NMC Library can experience sixteenth century England on Wednesday October 11 at 5 pm sl as Henry VIII takes on a second Life in Second Life to defend himself against biographers who have villified him throughout history. There is also an exhibit on the Declaration of Independence from the Library of Congress American Memory collection that has a graphic of the men who signed it, a lifesize graphic of the document, and an opportunity to listen to audio of the text. Exhibit materials were created by librarian Shadow Fugazi. Librarian Eiseldora Reisman has compiled a number of resources on the twenty-first century “Digital Media Revolution” that visitors can browse through. Through Second Life, people can experience history and current events in a variety of formats, programs, events, and materials.
