Robin Mochi (a librarian from the USA) leads this discussion. "Free in-world tools, such as Sloog and the Salamander HUD, can be used to take information literacy to the next level. Librarians often supply links to quality websites, with these tools we can share the best in-world resources. We will discuss other possibilities for expanding information literacy in-world, and a tool will be available for all to add to your inventory."

12 noon SL time is what time EST?
Sorry I didn't spot this before. I'm not sure what time EST is ... I think it's 5 hours behind UK time? That would mean SL time was 3 hours behind EST.
