29. Libraries & Virtual Worlds Lori Bell, Director of Innovation Alliance Library System "Gartner Research Group predicts 80 percent of Internet users will be in a virtual world by 2011. This is the next phase of the Internet and libraries need to be where users are. We are investigating and offering library services to people who might not otherwise come to the library and we have an international community of librarians and educators working together to provide high quality services."
