Listserve Service/Prison Librarian List

[Heidi Rawson-Ketchum <rawsonkehl@CBPU.COM>]

We get many requests on LM-net for e-mail lists for  teachers,
administrators and various other interest groups.  I have just been made
aware of a new online listserve provider because of the start up of a new
Prison-LIB list for prison and jail librarians.   It indexes many of the
listserve lists that we refer to in our FAQ such as Liszt, Tile.net and PAML

http://www.topica.com/

Anyone can start a list and you can read and post either from the web or
from your own mail program.  There is still a list "owner" and that person
may have their own specific rules.  For example, on the prison list you have
to send personal information to the owner only so she can assure herself
that you are "legit" but for security concerns you do not have to use your
own name and where you are.  Of course, in corrections we have special
concerns in this area especially those in higher level and more threatening
environments!

I have communicated with someone in a juvenile corrections setting on LM-net
and  I wanted to let that person and whomever else might be interested in
being involved or learning more about Corrections librarianship that this
new list exists.  The list is called: Prison-LIB.  You go to the main site
and register and then ask to sign up for that particular list.  This list
has grown to over 35 members in just a few days in existence!  I'm sure it
will never be what LM-net is since most prison librarians only do e-mail at
home since prisons are not very connected.  You might find some interesting
groups!
