Abstract
Abstract As prison populations have grown, so too has the demand for prison library services and materials related to education, recreational reading, and inmate efforts to seek post conviction relief through the courts. Correctional librarians have been hard pressed to respond to this demand. Many look to information management technology to bridge the gap between inmate demand and shrinking resources. Based on a nationwide survey of state prisons, this paper examines trends in the use of information management technology by prison librarians in the United States and the influence of prison contextual characteristics on deployment of such technology.
