by Mick O'Leary

DATABASE REVIEW column presents the 2000 BUDDIE award for the Best Unknown Database. Lists the three criteria for the award as having high-quality content, covering important topics of widespread interest and importance, and being less well-known than its worth and interest merit. Gives the award to Policy.com produced by VoxCap.com of Chicago, IL (312). Relates that the heart of Policy.com is the Issues Library, a collection of links to several thousand documents from hundreds of Web sites, with both basic and advanced search capabilities. Describes departments that also make the site a policy news service, including Top Policy News, Daily Briefings, "In the Tanks," and Policy Calendar. Notes that the advertising presence is modest and unobtrusive. Calls it a unique and valuable information resource and an outstanding BUDDIE winner. Contains one product summary.
