I don’t found any Indian Libraries in Second Life. However Indian Libraries are still evolving and start providing virtual reference service and virtual collection to the user.

For other reader of this thread I just want to say that Second Life (http://secondlife.com/), created by Linden Lab in San Francisco, is a persistent online world: a 3-D virtual continent where 10% of its 3.7 million account holder citizens log on daily as avatars to socialize, attend classes and events, do business, learn, build and create.
In April 2006, Alliance Library System (ALS) (www.alliancelibrarysystem.com) in IL become the first library organization to plunk down money for virtual land.
Some Definition of Key Term of Second Life
Avatar: An avatar is the graphical representation of the user or the user's alter ego or character.
Linden Lab: Linden Research, Inc., or Linden Lab, is a privately held American Internet company that is best known as the creator of Second Life (http://secondlife.com/).
Persistent World (PW): A persistent world (PW) is a virtual world that continues to exist even after a user exits the world and that user-made changes to its state are, to some extent, permanent.
