This proposal was carried out in the network of advanced technology research in Francisco José de Caldas University in Bogotá Colombia, as part of the Ph.D. in Engineering, within the “LIDER” [21] research group. Special thanks to Dr. José Nelsón Perez for his valuable support to develop these important projects that allow the creation new scientific horizons. With his support, we expect to continue moving forward with new developments in the research group.

Abstract

This paper proposes the implementation of a 3D virtual library, using open platforms such as OpenSimulator and Sloodle, applied to the integration of virtual learning environments. It also proposes their application to the creation of open libraries to share and disseminate the new dynamic nature of knowledge, in the understanding that 3D virtual worlds may contribute to the future of libraries as part of green initiatives to achieve an ecologic and sustainable planet.
