(Please excuse cross-posting) *Simmons Graduate School of Library and Information Science Continuing Education* Censorship and the Prison Library <http://alanis.simmons.edu/ceweb/workshop.php?id=102> $275 (Simmons GSLIS Alumni Price $220) April 1 - May 12, 2012 (Online - asynchronous) PDPs: 25 An important programmatic component of the Massachusetts Department of Correction is helping offenders recognize the root causes of criminality, and offering mechanisms for overcoming antisocial behavior. Few places in a prison have more potential to positively shape inmate's lives than the correctional Library. In this workshop, participants will examine how selective collection development balances the inmate's 'Right to Read' against the DOC mission of protecting the public. By the end of the session, participants will learn how to create a dynamic service philosophy and collection based upon a blending of therapeutic and public library models. The instructor utilizes a course web site called JAILFIRE, enabling participants to blog about correctional libraries, retrieve PowerPoint lectures, access the course Glossary, and link to current web sites and material on correctional Librarianship. Instructor: Since 2001, Bill Mongelli has lectured for San Jose State University on correctional library management, offering the course in both F2F and online environments. Bill is the author of CONSentrating on the Law: A Program of Self-Directed Legal Research for Prison Course Givers, published in 2001 by F&W Associates. Bill has been a correctional Librarian since 1986, and currently supervises the lending library, population law library, and two satellite law collections at the MCI in Norfolk, MA.
