Research and Markets Comprehensive Consumer Guide to Legal Information in One Informative Package



June 24, 2005 -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c19642) has announced the addition of The Legal Information Buyer's Guide & Reference Manual 2005 to their offering.

The Legal Information Buyer's Guide & Reference Manual is the leading and most comprehensive consumer guide to legal information in print. The 2005 edition, which updates and replaces the 2004 edition, includes updated information on thousands of legal information products, including reviews of over 1,400 legal treatises and specialty titles (including dozens of new titles). For example, the 2005 edition includes a 1,100 word content rich review of the ABA's 2003 Legal Technology Survey Report: Online Research. The book contains current bibliographic and pricing information on over 1,600 state primary law and secondary titles, and hundreds of additional products, including federal statutes, state and federal digests, legal encyclopedias, annotated reports, citators, administrative codes, legal newspapers, CD-ROMs, and much more. The annotated bibliography of law-related reference titles (chapter 22) has been expanded to over 75 titles and the Legal Information Acquisitions Toolbox now includes 41 print titles and web sites. Chapter 28 includes the most complete and up-to-date listing of state legal bibliographies and research guides. The book contains a mind-boggling amount of pricing data, both current and historic--all compiled to make your job easier.

In addition, the complete text has been updated to reflect the current state of legal publishing in the United States as of March, 2005 including every title, edition, and pricing reference. Moreover, the 2005 edition is 720 pages, an increase in size of 15 pages over the 2005 edition.

The unique legal treatise pricing spreadsheet (Appendix H) provides basic bibliographic and pricing information on over 1,400 titles, including the 2000-2004 supplementation costs for each title (2005 for Matthew Bender and some Aspen titles). Nowhere on this planet will you find such a convenient source of comparative pricing data designed to help you make wise acquisition (or cancellation) decisions regarding print titles, CD-ROMs, and CALR services.

The September 2004 issue of Legal Information Alert named the Legal Information Buyer's Guide & Reference Manual as one of the top 20 legal informations innovations of the past ten years, the only book in this select field which included Google, KeyCite, IndexMaster, EDGAR and Law-Lib, among others.

The Legal Information Buyer's Guide & Reference Manual has become one of the most highly regarded reference tools in the field. Winner of both the AALL's Joseph L. Andrews Bibliographical Award and the Connie Bolden Significant Publications Award from the State, Court & County Law Libraries SIS, it has also received glowing reviews in such publications as Law Library Journal, Law Practice Management, the New York Law Journal, Choice, Against the Grain, Legal Information Alert, Documents to the People, and dozens of state bar and library publications. It is one of the few non-ABA published titles to be adopted by the American Bar Association and sold through its catalog and web site.

More than 1,000 hours of editorial work are donated every year to keep this book a vital and up-to-date desktop resource. We have also kept the price low to make it easier for libraries to acquire each annual edition. Its value at budget time will, by itself, justify the modest cost of having the latest facts and figures at your fingertips.
