Technology Innovations
- Developed a CD ROM tutorial that simulated the Internet for
inmates who have no access and who return to their communities
with no knowledge of how to access information. The interactive
CD Rom - Discovering the Internet@ Your Library, highlights
public libraries as free sources of information. The CD ROM
was copyrighted to the Maryland State Department of Education
and nationwide, prison program providers request this one of
a kind tutorial. In 2003 Glennor received the Al Maresh Award
for excellence in computer-assisted technology for the CD ROM.
- Initiated the development of a website for the MD Correctional Education
Libraries.
- Spearheaded the publication of the online Directory of State Prison Librarians.
- Initiated the program Family Literacy @ Your Library in 2003 at the Maryland House of Corrections.
This encourages inmates and caregivers to read with and to their children
