Electronic Database of the Week part 3

Taking a detour away from looking at all the OHIOLink goodies for a week, I want to highlight an important source for law students and faculty.
HeinOnline is an electronic database of American law reviews and journals.

To use it, go to our Legal Research Links page and click on the link. You will get a "Subscribers, Please Click Here" page. Click on that link, it will take you to their welcome page/index. The link only works for computers in the law school, as it is tied to our IP addresses. (for UT Law faculty members who want home/road access, please see me.)
The Law Journal Library link at the top gives an alphabetical list of law journals. There is a search function that lets you search by author, title or full text. Westlaw and Lexis search interface may be easier to use, but their drawback is that for most law reviews they do not go back to the journal's inception. You can also use HeinOnline's navigation feature, if you have a citation to an article. For example if you need to get 4 U. Toledo L. Rev. 25 (from 1972-73), go to the alphabetical listing, click on "U" scroll down to University of Toledo, click on the title. This will bring up the list of all University of Toledo L. Rev. volumes. Clicking on 4 will bring up volume 4. HeinOnline shows the articles in PDF format, so you can view it just as it appears in paper (helpful for when you are cite checking). There is a downloading/printing option as well.

As always, if you have any questions, please ask a librarian.
