Santa Clara University Library on Second Life

Searching for design inspiration for a library-related piece, I happened across the news that Santa Clara University has established a Second Life presence. Also Harvard, Ball State, New York University. Who knew? (probably everyone but me).
Book artist Richard Minsky publishes a magazine on Second Life art and has a Center for the Book in SL.
I'm trying to figure out if Linden Labs is like Google -- are they vast, do they have an agenda, are they privately funded? I think it would help me predict where this is going. Seems like all these universities and government agencies and corporations like Reuters are giving it a vote of confidence.
