HeinOnline’s signature collection, the Law Journal Library, has officially surpassed 3,000 journals with the addition of six new journals last month! Yes, you read that right. 3,000+ journals, all dating back to the first issue ever published.
While it was initially labeled the “Law” Journal Library, for the content it originally contained, this small collection of 23 law reviews has grown into a multidisciplinary journal powerhouse spanning more than 41 million pages. It covers journals published in more than 60 different countries and encompasses more than 1,500 research topics.
But that’s not all. This database comes equipped with artificial intelligence tools, visual aids, and more. Keep reading to make sure you’re making the most of this robust platform.
