BLOG FOR PRISON LIBRARIANS
Institutional Library Services: Where Positive Change Takes Place comes from the State of Washington’s Office of the Secretary of State. Its mission statement: “with spirit and fortitude, ILS branch staff enhances the quality of life for unique populations by providing a welcoming, neutral and secure place where informational, educational and recreational needs are met.” There is a great post on a typical day in the life of a prison librarian and another about their quarterly conferences where most of the participants are OPLs. Good stuff here.
Judith A. Siess is a recognized expert in one-person librarianship and interpersonal networking. She was the editor and publisher of The One-Person Library: A Newsletter for Librarians and Management from 1998-2009 and is the author of articles for publications such as American Libraries and Searcher. An active member of SLA since 1980, she was the inaugural chair of its SOLO Librarian’s division, which is now the fourth largest division of the association with nearly 1,000 members. She has drawn from her more than twenty years’ experience to write seven books (see links). She is trying to retire, but it isn't working.
