Thanks for joinging the entrepreneurship group I saw that that was an area lacking within the group structure.

I am just another soul trying to build a network here. I work for the College Center for Library Automation in Florida. We provide for our 28 Community Colleges access to research databases, a unified library catalog and a library management system. We have had a presence in Second Life for about 18 months and provide access to many of those services from within the virtual world. You can find us here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Eduisland%203/34/216/23

I offered you friendship...maybe we can help each other.
