JAILFIRE is a course content provider for the SJSU MLIS distance learning seminar in correctional librarianship. This site was created for the exclusive use of myself and students enrolled in Correctional Library Management. Spring 2010 marks the fourth time that CLM will be offered as a totally online course for the San José State 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 this semester we've 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.
