Researchers Who Love HeinOnline Academic
As a small, undergraduate institution, we have a specific need for a broad-based research database that crosses disciplinary lines to provide the greatest research value to our students. HeinOnline fulfills a niche not provided by other online databases at a cost per student below other research databases. HeinOnline, paired with FastCase, provides unmatched coverage appropriate for our undergraduate law courses. In addition, its coverage of history, political science, gender studies, and environmental issues serves multiple departments across campus and provides extensive resources appropriate for courses ranging from freshman composition to senior seminars. We are particularly happy with its American Indian Law Collection, which provides particular focus to an underserved community. The representatives at HeinOnline are responsive, cheerful, and fantastic to work with.
University Librarian 
Our library is excited to provide our patrons with access to HeinOnline Academic for a number of reasons: (1) an outstanding collection of law and law-related journals; (2) excellent coverage of U.S. congressional content, which allowed us to cancel several expensive subscriptions (saving thousands of dollars per year); (3) exceptional coverage of federal law and regulations; (4) access to specialized collections (e.g. Religion and the Law, Women and the Law) which are of interest to a growing number of researchers on our campus; and last, but not least (5) outstanding communication with HeinOnline representatives during all phases of acquisition, from initial trial through online and face-to-face demonstrations, license negotiation and contract-signing
This is an outstanding resource that we anticipate will get great use from our paralegal, public affairs, and political science researchers, but also from a wide variety of users from a wide variety of academic departments on our campus.

What makes acquisition of this database exciting is its depth and its application to so many different disciplines and areas of study. While HeinOnline is an excellent resource for researchers looking for articles on legal issues of any kind, the collections have applicability to anyone studying history, political science, public policy and administration, homeland security, criminal justice, international relations, or any topic which involves those subjects.

HeinOnline is fantastic! For some students who are using government documents, it is a one-stop shopping situation. Very powerful search functionality, lots of options and ways to filter. Love it.
It’s super convenient for a number of the political science classes that I teach, particularly in terms of being able to use keyword searching in the main screen that grabs up laws, court cases, and journal articles in one fell swoop … HeinOnline is currently my go-to database for poli-sci, and I’m very happy with it.
My students in SOCL 317 have found HeinOnline useful in identifying primary documents and journal articles.
