The 46 Best-ever Freeware Utilities

In fulfillment of the Law School's Strategic Plan goal of actively
participating in the University as a whole, we are pleased to offer
BNA-ALL to the entire University of Baltimore community.

BNA-ALL is an online resource of over 100 titles published by the Bureau
of National Affairs (BNA). This database includes some of the premier
legal publications in their fields (U.S. Law Week, Family Law Reporter,
Tax Management Portfolios, Criminal Law Reporter, Labor Relations
Reporter) as well as nonlegal ones (Human Resources Reporter, Homeland
Security Briefing, Health Plan Provider Report, Money & Politics
Report).

To access this database from on campus, point your web browser to:
http://law.ubalt.edu/lawlib/online/bnalist.html.

You also can access BNA-ALL from off-campus through Research Port
(http://researchport.umd.edu/)

BNA-ALL also has an email update service that alerts you to the latest
developments, cases, and reports of your favorite BNA publication. To
sign up for this service you must be on campus. Point your browser to:
http://law.ubalt.edu/lawlib/online/bnalist.html.

BNA email updates come out on the same daily, weekly, or monthly basis
as their corresponding BNA publication.
