Welcome to the Social Simulation Research Lab Library Index

If you've arrived here from outside the social virtual world Second Life, the SSRL is the virtual home of University of Surrey PhD student Aleks Krotoski (avatar name Mynci Gorky). It hosts links information for participants taking part in the PhD research, plus over 100 online cyber-research resources from sociologists, anthropologists, ethnographers, communication scientists, social network analysts and psychologists from around the world.

Below is a list of what you'll find inside, and where in the Library you'll find it. If you'd like to suggest a resource for the Library, please send an email to secondlife+at+surrey.ac.uk - but remember it must be available without a subscription online.
