TSTLL - Law Library Research Unit

The TST Law Library System will move your corrections department\\'s law library into the era of electronic delivery of publisher\\'s law research data.

This unique program includes a patented hardware unit and a complete system of monitoring, maintenance and service to deliver a fully compliant law library to inmates.  The key is the use of the shatter-proof touch screen that allows users, even those with no computer experience, to research every type of legal data required to be available to inmates. In addition, this system is completely secure from any internet access.  Consider the following advantages:

• PUBLISHER\\'S DATA UPDATED QUARTERLY. The publisher\\'s most recent data will be supplied to the unit every quarter. This provides the most accurate and current material to the user. 
• PRISONER ESCORT COSTS REDUCED.  By placing the TST units on-site at high security locations, a major reduction in costs associated with prisoner escorted movement (to and from law libraries) is accomplished.
• ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS REDUCED.  The TST units will eliminate the administrative costs associated with accepting, handling and accounting for law books and updates.
• LAW LIBRARIANS RETURN TO THE JOB INTENDED.  The TST system will allow librarians to return to their most important function: that of effectively guiding people in their search for information. The TST system will reduces:
  -Librarian\\'s time spent copying from books.
  -Librarian\\'s time spent handling law books and supplements.
  -Librarian\\'s time spent accounting for law book billings.
• COPYING OF MATERIALS REDUCED.  Previously copied materials can now be printed in a secure location (controlled by the librarian) instead of being copied. In some cases, the cost of the unit may be offset by inmate printing fees.
• INMATE LOG-IN LOG-OUT CONTROL. TST monitoring capability allows the correctional facility to precisely determine the identity of the user and their amount of usage during any given period, thereby eliminating potential liability for allegations of non-access.
