The AALL (American Association of Law Libraries) 2009 conference in Washington DC was attended by over 1700 law librarians from law firms, corporations, government facilities and law schools. 92 companies exhibited everything from new online databases to jewelry.
On Saturday evening, Westlaw Business kicked off AALL with its annual Customer Appreciation Event. This year’s event was held at the Smithsonian’s Natural History Museum. The over three hundred librarians who attended enjoyed a culinary tour of Washington, DC in the museum’s historic rotunda and a champagne bar in the famed Harry Winston Gallery.
Here are some highlights from the exhibit hall:
From Practising Law Institute: PLI currently has over 80 of their treatises available for the Amazon Kindle, with plans to expand to the entire treatise catalog by the end of the year. Regular updates will occur on at least an annual basis for most titles.
Research Solutions will locate, retrieve and deliver the documents you need, when you need them. While they can retrieve just about any document from their vast network of libraries whose collections they access, most often, the requests they receive are for medical, legal, scientific and technical journal articles, conference proceedings and book chapters. They also have a large in-house collection of dictionaries and PDRs.
Justis, has a full-text legal library of authoritative UK and Irish cases and legislation going back to 1163, and JustCite, the uniquely provider-neutral citator. Westlaw Business launched two exciting new products, the Islamic Finance Centre and Westlaw Business Currents.
