Examples of items for our collection

Many resources we have listed are books, and some are PDFs. Due to concerns about organizing, maintaining, and preserving a lot of small, unbound paper documents, or organizing a collection of digital files, our collection will likely not include health pamphlets. However, much of the information available in these resources is similar to that which could be accessible on the CD ROM databases we will provide to the prison library. Librarians who have a somewhat different library setting or user group may find them useful for their needs.

The full list can be accessed here.
