Purpose and Objectives |
The purpose of the Library Services to the Institutionalized Division is to promote the interests and needs of librarians serving institutions in Ohio. These are librarians, library assistants, and outreach service providers whose responsibility is providing quality library services to people in institutions including jails, prisons, community–based correctional facilities, mental health facilities, juvenile correctional institutions and detention centers, and facilities for the developmentally disabled.
Unit Objectives
In addition to the goals and objectives in the Ohio Library Council Long-Range Plan,
1. Participate in Correctional Education Association of Ohio and State Council of Professional Educators educational events to provide programming of interest to librarians and support staff.
2. Communicate with members of our Division through use of the electronic newsletter, providing two issues in 2008.
3. Submit a complete slate for nominations to the LSID action council.
4. Plan for the 2009 convention by preparing and submitting one program (Re-entry Initiative, How Libraries Can Help) and preparing a pamphlet to help connect institutional libraries with public libraries in their areas (additional service to the under served populations of Ohio ).
