LACUNY Services for Incarcerated People Roundtable

The Services for Incarcerated People Roundtable provides a forum for librarians who support, or are interested in supporting, library services for incarcerated people to discuss current issues, broaden their understanding, and raise awareness of information barriers within the carceral system. The Roundtable connects CUNY librarians with other librarian-led groups, such as Prison Library Support Network, that provide direct services to incarcerated people, and serves as a resource for CUNY groups such as the UFS Committee on Higher Education in the Prisons and those working in prison education programs. https://lacunysips.commons.gc.cuny.edu/

Shoudl we list round table membership on our public site?

    Hi all,

    I think it would be a good idea to list our names on the group website so visitors can see who is a Roundtable member—and possibly reach out to the librarian on their campus to learn more.

    I also think we might consider using the forum/group email as more of an open discussion space, inviting non-library faculty and others to join the Commons group as a way to stay informed, without necessarily being a member of the Roundtable itself (which I believe is limited to LACUNY members).

    How do folks feel about those two things? Please weigh in!

    Best,

    Roxanne
