Abstract

Describes the emergence of MultiUser Database technology (MUD) and its derivative, Multi user Object Oriented (MOO) virtual environment, as a tool on the Internet and the applications of MOO to the creation of user friedly standardized user interfaces to the most frequently used Internet and resources: gopher, WWW, telnet and FTP, as well as proprietary online systems such as DIALOG and OCLC FirstSearch. Reports the practical application of the MOO environment in the Social Virtual Reality project and the use of AstroVir, end explores library projects currently under way at Diversity University, an online college based at Houston University, Texas
