A book co-edited by William S. Sly, M.D., received two national honors recently.
Sly received an award from the Folio Corp. as a finalist in the 1997 Folio Infobase Industry Awards for his work on a book and CD-ROM version of The Metabolic and Molecular Bases of Inherited Disease.
More than 1,000 products were published by Folio last year. Sly's work was selected as one of the 12 overall finalists for best product and one of three finalists in the area of medical products. Sly said such recognition reflected favorably on the "tremendous amount of work put into the product by the publisher, McGraw-Hill, the company that provided the CD-ROM technology, Corporate Technology Ventures, the editors and the authors of the 187 chapters."
In addition to the technology award, the book won first place in the physicians category in the 1995 Medical Book Awards Competition. Sly is one of four editors for the book, which has been cited as the one resource that defines biochemical and molecular bases of human genetic disease.
Sly is the Alice A. Doisy professor and chairman of biochemistry and molecular biology.
