A research guide created by Brooklyn Law School's librarians to assist those who wish to identify resources on mass incarceration and prison abolition. This guide highlights selected New York-specific events and sources.

Tips:

  • BLS researchers who plan to work off campus and do not live in a BLS residence: implement the BLS proxy server instructions for 1 web browser, then close/reopen that browser. 
    • This will allow you to retrieve more full text articles when searching BLS Library's OneSearch discovery platform or Google Scholar. 
      • If you successfully implement the BLS proxy instructions, a prompt will appear requesting your BLS username/password.
    • Need help implementing the BLS proxy instructions?  Email: library.lab@brooklaw.edu 
    • Need help finding articles? Email: askthelibrary@brooklaw.edu
  • BLS researchers who search Google Scholar or PsycNET can request unavailable articles through BLS Library's interlibrary loan form/service. 
    • Before making an interlibrary loan request, BLS researchers can access Find a Source and can enter a journal's title to view available journal holdings.
