Database Guides: HeinOnline

Using Other Search Options

Citation Search
Use the Citation search option to quickly retrieve a document using its citation. In addition to standard Bluebook citations, HeinOnline has added alternate citation forms from the Cardiff Index to Legal Abbreviations and Prince’s Bieber Dictionary of Legal Abbreviations. If a document’s citation format is unknown, click Citation Format Guide for an A-Z list of titles. Click any title to access volume and page boxes. Enter this information and click Get Citation to access the document.

Catalog Search
The Catalog search tab can be used to locate items at the publication level. This option will search across the entire HeinOnline catalog, including MARC21 records provided by Cassidy Cataloguing, so users may see results from collections to which they do not subscribe. Click Advanced Catalog Search to produce additional search fields and to preselect a date range in which to search. Catalog search results will include the collection in which each title can be found, as well as facets that can be used to narrow search results by collection, subject, publication type, or date.

Case Law
Enter a case citation in the Case Law search tab to quickly retrieve cases from HeinOnline. Case law access is also available by clicking inline hyperlinks throughout HeinOnline. All citations, including case citations, are highlighted in blue in the text of HeinOnline documents. Note that ScholarCheck “cited by” information is also available for case law.
