The Call for Papers Has Begun!

Have you been thinking of writing an article of interest to law librarians? Maybe you just need a push to get started? Whether for fame or fortune, this is your chance to enter the AALL/LexisNexis™ Call for Papers Competition.

The AALL/LexisNexis Call for Papers Committee is soliciting articles in three categories:

• Open Division for AALL members and law librarians with five or more years of professional experience.
• New Members Division for recent graduates and AALL members who have been in the profession for less than five years.
• Student Division for students in library, information management or law school. (Students need not be members of AALL.)

The winner in each division receives $750 generously donated by LexisNexis, plus the opportunity to present his or her paper at a special program during the AALL Annual Meeting in St. Louis. Winning papers will also be considered for publication in the Association’s prestigious Law Library Journal.

For more information, a list of previous winners and an application, visit the AALL website at www.aallnet.org/about/award_call_for_papers.asp. Submissions must be postmarked by March 1, 2006.
