Sirsi Dynix get Second Life

As announced via InfoIsland.org:
SirsiDynix Sponsors Alliance Library System’s Second Life Library 2.0; will fund the two main islands in the Info Island project on Second Life
The two Second Life islands sponsored by SirsiDynix are Info Island and Teen Info Island, which is named “Eye4YouAlliance.”
Having been involved with Second Life an Alliance Libraries for some time [Alliance Second Life Library won the second prize in the Talis Mashing Up The Library competition in august last year. Talis also sponsors Cybrary City another island in Second Life adjacent to Info Island, where approximately 30 public and academic libraries are represented and Talis have a virtual office.] it is great to welcome another member of the vendor community in to this virtual world.
Gaining this welcome further sponsorship, in addition to that so far provided by Talis, will add power to the elbow of the Alliance team, who are doing sterling work in promoting and sharing innovation for libraries in both Second Life and Teen Second Life.
Securing sponsorship for Info Island in particular, where the competition winning Second Life Library is located, I'm sure is very welcome to them.
It will be interesting to see the thoughts of Stephen Abram, Sirsi Dynix's well known representative in the blogosphere, on Second Life after this announcement.
