Legal Researchers Who Love HeinOnline
I've been a user of HeinOnline products for nearly 20 years and find that the content is some of the most valuable I use in my legal research. It is one of the starting places in which my librarians, researcher, and attorneys begin their research because of the wealth of information HeinOnline contains. As a Chief Knowledge Services Officer, I also look for research tools which bring me a good return on our investment. HeinOnline is one of [those] products. In fact, I would say that HeinOnline gives us the most bang for the buck.
GREG LAMBERTChief Knowledge Services Officer | Jackson Walker 
We love the HeinOnline interface as it's so much more intuitive than Lexis. Our stats are solid and I think the interface is professional and works well with discovery.
CATHERINE TUOHYAssociate Librarian for Electronic Resource Management | Emmanuel College
When people (attorneys, clerks, pro se litigants) realize how easy it is to use HeinOnline, they want to use it more because they realize how powerful this resource really is. Hein has been around for like forever but it has been in maybe the last decade that people have finally realized its utility in day-to-day litigation. It's become the ultimate diamond in the rough that will help you achieve success, every time (in any situation).
Typically, attorneys have used HeinOnline at the appellate level. In recent years, however, I have seen that attorneys discover the utility of Hein to help knock out cases at the trial level. Simply put, if you can knock out a case with a summary judgment motion, why wouldn't you use the power of HeinOnline.
Easy to use, easy to see how it can help in any situation.
BRET CHRISTENSENOutreach, Instruction, Reference Librarian | Charleston School of Law
I'm a huge fan of Hein and your products. The number of resources you have that aren't available elsewhere, the image-based documents (as opposed to West and Lexis removing all of the context).
DAN KIMMONSPerkins Coie
HeinOnline is my go-to resource for legal periodical research. It's a treasure trove of historical codes, session laws, and even pre-statehood materials. It seems like there's something new every time I sign on! And best of all, new features are not offered as an additional subscription tier, but are just available to use when they are released. I don't know what I'd do without Hein.
SAMANTHA SMARTCabaniss Johnston
When it comes to tracing historical development in the legal field, HeinOnline feels like a "one stop shop." The collections are vast and broad in range (i.e. periodicals, case law, statutes, journal articles, presidential libraries, treaties, and so much more), it is incredibly easy to use, and the image quality of the documents is "second to none." There is even an option to archive documents for future use. I love the functionality of the website because it is clearly labeled and streamlined, which makes it very user friendly. This is a database that deserves to be on everyone's radar!
KIMBERLEY FLETCHERSan Diego State University
It's great that you are able to cater to large and small organizations. You are always responsive to suggestions for new resources to add. And you are independently owned!
TINA DUMASNossaman LLP
The other day a law professor informed me that HeinOnline is a "goldmine"–but I already knew that. Recently, I have used HeinOnline to help patrons find colonial-era laws about cross-dressing, an 1805 Louisiana Territory law, and early federal health and safety regulations. Some of these patrons had wasted time looking on Westlaw and Lexis, which simply don't have what they needed.
MARY RUMSEYReference and Instructional Services Librarian | Willamette University College of Law
I love how easy it is to download from Hein. It also makes me look like a wizard at work with how quickly I can pull older documents. It is wonderful!
