JAILFIRE: A Passion for Prison Libraries ©2012 by William David Mongelli. The San Jose State University's eLearning seminar in Correctional Library Management uses JAILFIRE as the course content sidebar, intended for the exclusive use of the professor and his students. Spring 2012 marks the fourth time that CLM has been offered as a totally online course for the University.
Students use JAILFIRE to:
- Retrieve recorded lectures which are posted weekly throughout the semester
- Access the course Glossary
- Discuss various correctional librarianship topics which are assigned on a weekly basis
- Blog about aspects of correctional librarianship that interest them
- Access links to current web sites and materials on correctional librarianship
JAILFIRE was offered to students for the first time in Spring '09. Then, the site was conceived simply as a blog for my long-winded correctional rants but, mercifully, has evolved into a much more useful course tool. For the 2010 semester, we added a Discussion Board forum using a third-party WordPress plug-in; relocated the course Glossary under its own tab; added a Lectures tab; and moved Prison Library Links access to the right-hand margin of each JAILFIRE course page.
