CONTACT: Roger H. Parent, Executive Director, 312/939-4764
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The American Association of Law Libraries' (AALL) Price Index for Legal
Publications 1996, an annual reference guide which illustrates the changes
in pricing of legal information from year to year, is now available.
The Price Index is a table-based report on the mean cost of titles and
percentage increases over previous years for monographs, serial
publications, legal periodicals, loose-leaf services, commercially
published court reporters, and legal continuations plus an appendix of all
products and legal vendors that were surveyed.
The 1996 edition has been produced by a new editor, AALL member Margaret
Maes Axtmann (Assistant Director for Collections and Technical Services,
University of Minnesota Law Library, Minneapolis, Minnesota.) Axtmann
succeeds AALL Member Bettie Scott (Associate Law Librarian and Associate
Law School Library Professor, City University of New York Law School,
Flushing, New York) who has retired as editor after compiling the Price
Index for the past 20 years.
New features in the 1996 Price Index include an index for CD-ROM
publications, statements on the current state of U.S. legal publishing and
on the Price Index's methodology, and a bibliography of other sources for
legal information publishing and pricing. The Price Index for Legal
Publications 1996 is available now for $20 from the AALL Executive Staff
Office, 312/939-4764. Due to the nature of the contents of this
publication, no returns will be accepted.
The American Association of Law Libraries was founded in 1906 to promote
and enhance the value of law libraries to the legal and public communities,
to foster the profession of law librarianship, and to provide leadership in
the field of legal information.
