Subject: Prison hospital library/unusual environment!
Colleagues,
Does anyone know of a librarian working in a prison
(penitentiary/correctional institution) hospital library in the federal or
state system? To the best of my knowledge I believe I am the only one (in
the federal system). I have called all the federal medical centers attached
to prisons in this country and have found none that have medical librarians.
Does anyone know of any such library/librarian overseas? I have not called
state prison hospitals, with the exception of one in NC, that does not have
a medical librarian either. Finally, and this is a somewhat crazy question
:) does anyone know of a medical librarian working in an unusual
environment/organization or serving a unique type of clientele? I work in
an OPL, and I provide library services to the medical staff not the inmates.
Looking forward to your feedback.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
Martha.
