Hello! I'm not entirely sure where to put this topic, but this forum seemed the most relevant. If it isn't, I apologize and would greatly appreciate it if someone could move the topic to the correct forum.

I am doing a college research project within Second Life, and was wondering if anyone knew of any published literature on Second Life itself. I am most interested in peer reviewed journal articles and research articles. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

One upon a time, Corey Doctorow released one of his novels into SL under...I believe, Creative Commons. It was this spectacularly well done object that rezed up, with a little reading chair for your AV, and large enough so that you could actually read the book, with turning pages, etc. I'm trying to dig up my copy from my avatar. I think it was either Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town, or Eastern Standard Tribe, I forget which.

This is wasn't exclusive published in SL though, so I don't know if this fits what you are looking for.
