WELCOME TO INFO LIT ISLAND
As you can see in the cover image and below:Info lit Island is a virtual library with classrooms off the main campus.In physical reality it would be inconvenient to have the library separated from campus,But in virtual reality it is a short flight over the water.
THE LIBRARY HAS IVY LEAGUE STYLE ARCHITECTURE
• Being virtual reality, I could choose a more modern style• I chose the Ivy League appearance because I
think it makes the building look distinguished.• The blending of virtual emerging technologies
and the “look” of an established educational institution.• This impression is traditionally conducive to
learning and studying.• It would be fun to go to a virtual Harvard or
Columbia University
THE FACADE ON THE LEFT IS A “REAL” LIBRARY AND THE ONE ON THE RIGHT IS
A VIRTUAL LIBRARY.
SIMILAR TO MY VISION
INTERIOR OF THE LIBRARY
• Library stacks should be big, high and spacious.• The library should be traditionally furnished and
arranged.• Access to books in the upper stacks can be reached
by flying.• The following slide is an example of my vision of the
type of library I envision.• The image on the right is from Harvard University –
which is the desired look.• The image is the best virtual image I could find, I
would like the virtual library to look more like the Harvard Stacks.
THE INFO LIT CLASSROOMS
• Info lit classrooms will be in the library building• The classrooms will be lecture center type rooms
in the basement of the library.• The reason for the lecture center rooms is so
many virtual students can inhabit the space.• This is a required course, enrollment should be
high.• Multimedia features built into the coursework.• Even if you are sitting in the back, you can zoom
into the professor, smart board or other teaching tools.
