BNA's Health Law & Business Series Selected for AALL Best New Product Award
June 10, 1997. The American Association of Law Libraries (AALL) has
selected BNA's Health Law & Business Series, a series of monographs
produced by The Bureau of National Affairs, Inc. (BNA), for the 1997 New
Product Award, an annual honor presented to a new information product which
enhances or improves existing law library services or procedures, or which
improves access to legal information or the legal research process.
The Health Law and Business Series, available in print and on CD-ROM, is
the result of thousands of hours of research and analysis by leading health
law practitioners. The Series is organized by monographs called
"portfolios," which are exhaustively indexed on a series-wide basis and
feature comprehensive internal cross references, as well as a complete
table of cases, key statutes, regs, and agency rulings. Each portfolio in
the Series focuses on a specific legal/business issue of particular
importance within the health care industry such as Antitrust, Contracting
Issues, Fraud and Abuse, and Operational Issues. The table of contents for
the entire Series can be viewed on BNA's Web site at

The AALL New Product Award honors the hard work and dedication of legal
publishers and their efforts to create, improve or redesign products for
the legal information professional. A product is considered "new" if it
has been in the library-related marketplace for less than two years.
Eligible products include computer hardware and/or software, educational
materials, bibliographical materials, or other products or devices that aid
or improve workflow, research or intellectual process. Members of the AALL
Committee on Relations with Information Vendors screen nominations for the
New Product Award and recommend finalists to the Awards Committee, which
selects the recipient of the award.
Founded in 1929 and incorporated in its present form in 1947, BNA is the
oldest privately held, wholly employee-owned company in the United States
and is a leading publisher of print and electronic news and information
services.
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. Today, with over 4,800 members, the
Association represents law librarians and related professionals who are
affiliated with a wide range of institutions: law firms; law schools;
corporate legal departments; courts; and local, state and federal
government agencies.
