JSTOR is now available in 1000 prisons. Incredible work all around @IthakaSR & @BPIBard -- this kind of library access opens worlds. You're amazing, @StacyLynBurnet2!
It all started in 2007 when a Bard librarian had a thought abt increasing access to academic resources for BPI students & approached JSTOR w an idea. We are proud to see this spread as far & wide as it has and prouder that alumna @StacyLynBurnet2 is at the helm! #bardianandproud
