Tara Kibler

If you’ve spent a fair amount of time in the Law Journal Library, you may be familiar with HeinOnline’s Topics.

Using a combination of human curation along with natural language processing and machine learning, we’ve extracted narrow research concepts from each article in the Law Journal Library database. This has provided a robust foundation of more than 1,500 distinct multidisciplinary concepts which we’ve used to categorize each and every Law Journal Library document.

We call these concepts “Topics.” Every document in the Law Journal Library is assigned at least one of these Topics, and these concepts have been made available for users when browsing and searching…

Tara Kibler

Call ya friends, call ya colleagues. Searching in HeinOnline just got even more intuitive.

Previously, HeinOnline users were able to perform a search either within a specific database or across all databases, with the ability to then filter databases one by one within search results. However, what if you know from the get-go that you’d like to search for a term in three, or four, or twenty different databases?

Now, thanks to wonderful suggestions from users Alina Kelly (Director of Research and Library Services, Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP) and Jennifer Behrens (Associate Director for Administration & Scholarship, Duke Law School), you can. With a new feature…
