The report includes descriptions of the selection, purchasing, cataloging, and distributions processes for the following types of literacy materials: high interest/low vocabulary items; book/audiocassette sets; coping skills books; and career/vocational books. Information is provided about the bibliographies' content categories, production, and dissemination, as well as circulation of the materials and inmate responses to the program.
