The Research Committee of the American Association of Law Libraries is
accepting applications through April 1, 2006 for research grants from the
AALL/LexisNexis Research Fund Grants Program, totaling up to $5,000.
The committee will award one or more grants to library professionals who
wish to conduct research that supports the research/scholarly agenda of the
profession of librarianship. The grants program funds small or large
research projects that create, disseminate, or otherwise use legal
and law-related information as its focus. Projects may range from the
historical (indexes, legislative histories, bibliographies, biographies,
directories) to the theoretical (trends in cataloging, publishing or new
service models in libraries) to the practical (implementation models for
collection, personnel or infrastructure management). The AALL Research
Agenda offers suggestions for possible research projects. To review AALL's
Research Agenda, please go to

The AALL/LexisNexis Publishers Research Fund Grant Program was established
in 2000 with a generous contribution of $100,000 from LexisNexis. The
Research Fund will provide grants to library professionals who seek to
conduct research that is critical to the profession. The Research Fund
provides a secure financial base, enabling the AALL Research Committee to
carry out the Association's Research Agenda.
The submission deadline for applications is postmarked by April 1, 2006.
Grants will be awarded and announced in May. Allocation of the research
grants will be at the sole discretion of the AALL Research Committee. For
