Using imaging software, GIS, and popular applications like Google Earth and Second Life, Rumsey has given new life to old maps, both in their dissemination and our ability to analyze and understand them, thereby unlocking the information held in maps for use in a wide range of disciplines. He will discuss and demonstrate how he offers these software tools and a growing number of digitized maps themselves on his free public online map library at <a href="http://www.davidrumsey.com">http://www.davidrumsey.com</a> tag:sllibrarians.ning.com,2009-07-23:650964:Video:20528 2009-07-23T23:31:58.528Z ALALibraryVal Miles

Only Yesterday was designed as the successor to the Rich Idiot sim before it. Rolig Loon wanted to create a sim that celebrated all of the American experience of the decade, starting at about the Stock Market Crash of 1929 and extending to the start of WWII.<br /> <br /> Thanks to all who helped make the project a success: Rolig Loon, Lori Bell for her support, help and guidance, Rocksie Slade and Georgette Whitfield did great work on exhibits, Puglet Dancer created Gatsby's, Katt Thomsen was a great help in setting up the rental system that was used for commercial spaces, and Haldin Koba was the inspiration for the rail depot and a great help in researching photo and print resources for it.<br /> <br /> Find out more about the former Second Life island, Only Yesterday, at the RezLibris article, Memories of Bradburyville and Only Yesterday, at <a href="http://www.rezlibris.com/social/communities/409-memories-of-bradburyville-and-only-yesterday.html">http://www.rezlibris.com/social/communities/409-memories-of-bradburyville-and-only-yesterday.html</a>
