Dear Colleagues,

Showcase your own Africana collection on Entropia to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Africana Reading Room at the Library of Congress alongside LC's exhibit!  Entropia is the Second Life presence for collaboration amongst the DLF and CLIR members and sponsors. 

We aim to have the exhibit complete in time for this years' American Library Association Annual Conference to be held in Washington, D.C., June 24-29, 2010.  Please contact: Deni Wicklund at [log in to unmask] or Esther Grassian [log in to unmask] by April 15, 2010 if you would like to participate or if you need help in doing so.
