How to Use SLURLs

  • Start by opening up the SL program in a separate window or on your browser.  (FILE - NEW WINDOW or NEW TAB)
  • Create / login to your SL user account.
  • Click back to this CyberCultures guide in your browser.
  • Select a SLURL (to the right), and click on it.
  • A new tab will open called “Slurl – location-based linking in Second Life.”  Click on the orange TELEPORT NOW button.  (You’ll get a pop-up stating that an external application must be launched.”) 
  • Click LAUNCH APPLICATION
  • Click back to the Second Life page; the SL grid map will appear show your newly selected location
  • Click the blue TELEPORT button at the bottom.  Your avatar will be transported to your newly selected SLURL.

 

Let there be light!!!

TIP:  If it’s dark in your SL region and you need more light, from the drop-down menu at the upper left of your screen, choose WORLD – FORCE SUN – NOON.  Be aware, however, that some builds in Second Life look their best at midnight.

The ASU Library acknowledges the twenty-three Native Nations that have inhabited this land for centuries. Arizona State University's four campuses are located in the Salt River Valley on ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa) Indian Communities, whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today. ASU Library acknowledges the sovereignty of these nations and seeks to foster an environment of success and possibility for Native American students and patrons. We are advocates for the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge systems and research methodologies within contemporary library practice. ASU Library welcomes members of the Akimel O’odham and Pee Posh, and all Native nations to the Library.
