The AALL Research and Publications Committee is pleased to announce that two grants have been funded in 2008 by the Wolters Kluwer Law & Business Grant Program:

Scott Frey (Reference Librarian, Western State University College of Law Library) has been awarded $1,500 for his project �A Search Engine for Law-Related Public Domain Electronic Books.�
John Doyle (Associate Law Librarian, Washington and Lee University, Law School Library) has been awarded $3,804 for his project �Law Review Submissions.�

The Wolters Kluwer Law & Business Grant Program was first established in 1996 with a generous contribution of $50,000. Wolters Kluwer Law & Business considers its contribution as an investment in research that will provide a prospective look at the role of librarians, researchers, and legal information providers and will yield results to which publishers can respond. The goal is to sponsor research that will have a practical impact on the law library profession and inspire products and changes in the marketplace.

The members of the AALL Research and Publications Committee are: Annmarie Zell, Chair (New York University Law School Library); Pamela Melton, Vice Chair (Coleman Karesh Law Library, University of South Carolina); Daniel R. Campbell (U.S. Court of International Trade Library); Jacqueline Cantwell (Brooklyn Supreme Court Library); Annemarie Donovan (Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP); Debora Person (George W. Hopper Law Library, University of Wyoming); Adeen Postar (Pence Law Library, Washington College of Law, American University); Margaret A. Schilt (University of Chicago D'Angelo Law Library); Paula Seeger (University of Minnesota Law School Law Library), Kama Sue Siegel (Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt); Maryruth Storer (Orange County Public Law Library); and Sharon Wang (Osgoode Hall Law School Library).
