AALL Research Fund: An Endowment Established by LexisNexis®
On July 17, 2000 the American Association of Law Libraries (AALL) announced the formation of the AALL Research Fund, an endowment established with a $100,000 pledge from LexisNexis®. The fund provides a secure financial base, enabling the AALL Research Committee to carry out the Association's Research Agenda. That agenda encompasses research in the major topic areas of provision of legal information services, law library collections, legal research, the profession of law librarianship, and law library administration.
The Research Fund provides grants to library professionals who seek to conduct research that is critical to the profession.
AALL/Wolters Kluwer Law & Business Grant Program
This grant was first established in 1996 as the AALL/Aspen Law & Business Research Grant with a generous contribution of $50,000 from Aspen Law & Business to sponsor research that will have a practical impact on the law library profession and inspire products and changes in the marketplace. The grant was renamed the AALL/Wolters Kluwer Law & Business Grant Program in 2007.
