| Cataloged on:
Oct. 31, 2006
ANNOTATION: Prison libraries, users, and librarians are examined to shed light upon the "difficulties and rewards inherent in this still 'untraditional' career choice" (p. 1). This paper is organized into three parts: background on prison libraries and their patrons; the modern prison library; and preparation and attitude -- an amalgam of academic qualifications, work experience, and personality for prison librarian success.
