- Hello, and welcome! I am Carolina Keats, and I work in SL as the coordinator for a project funded by the National Library of Medicine, called ‘Share the Health: Training People with Disabilities and Chronic Medical Conditions on how to Locate Quality Health Information.” The project is supported inworld by Lori Bell, of the Alliance Library System: she wrote the grant that defines our objectives. I’m here to explore what it means – and what the best practices might be – in supporting the health information needs of SL participants. Our logic has been that when you enter a virtual world, you don’t leave rl concerns behind you. We’ve found that a lot of people start up and involve themselves in health support groups, sharing the daily experience of having a particular medical condition, or a health goal. In rl, I’m Carol Perryman. I’m a full time doctoral student at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill NC. While I have been a student for a few years now, for 20 years I’ve worked in rl libraries, including having been a medical and consumer health librarian. But I am more – I am myself a former smoker. This class is intended as an opportunity for sharing and learning. It is not intended to pressure you into quitting if you smoke. In the next hour I’d like to share my own experience, hear about your own, and then present to you some information that may help you down the road. If you have questions about smoking cessation, or any other health-related topic, I’m here at Second Life to help.
