Die International Association of Law Libraries (IALL) hat auf ihrer Jahreskonferenz in Barcelona (Spanien) am 18. September 2013 das österreichische Rechtsinformationssystem (RIS) als Gewinner des IALL 2013 Website Awards ausgewählt. Das RIS hat sich dabei gegen starke Konkurrenz durchgesetzt.
Aus der Begründung der Jury:
“RIS is an excellent open-access official government website managed by the Austrian Federal Chancellery that provides comprehensive access not only to national laws, but also to European community law, and the judicature of high courts, commissions and tribunals.”
In der Jury saßen Ligita Gjortlere (Riga Graduate School of Law), Teresa Miguel-Stearns (Yale Law School), Mirela Roznovschi (New York University School of Law) und Ivo Vogel (Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin).
