Hein Online (and a general thumbs up)

nsawicki
First - endless thanks from the academic community in general and the legal community in particular for your dedication to this project. Special thanks go out to those poor souls struggling with the Bluebook!

Secondly - Zotero does not seem to pick up citations from HeinOnline, which is an amazing database of nearly every law journal there is (with PDFs, which I like attaching to my references). For many with no Lexis or Westlaw access, it's a valued resource for secondary source research. Any possibility of scraping HeinOnline in the near future?

    I'd agree that Hein is a necessary resource within the legal community... perhaps we could use this thread to create a list of sites that are often used by legal researchers.
    My votes are below (Including a few that overlap into other disciplines). I'd love to start contributing to translators, but am waiting for more detailed documentation.
    Cheers,

    Is anyone aware if the heinonline issue has been solved? I'm unable to save Hein citations.

    Heinonline is currently not working. There is an outstanding ticket. https://www.zotero.org/trac/ticket/968

    Just adding my voice to say HeinOnline is still not working (at least for me). Any word on the progress of this?
  • jasesq
    Another vote for Hein - it would be really helpful.

    HeinOnline will be functioning ( in law journal library) at the beginning of january. -Thanks for your patience.

    Maybe animusdk meant beginning of February? At any rate, Hein not working for me either. Thanks, David

    Yes beginning of February, oops :) http://heinonline.org wont work until the current translator is deleted since that is the match string it uses. http://www.heinonline.org works currently however.

    Zotero is supported when viewing an article, as well as from a search result page with multiple entries (again, Journals only for now)

    The PDF is no longer included in the entry, but a link is present to get back to the page now. HeinOnline supports EndNote, RefWorks, Zotero via COinS and other applications that use those formats, as well as CSV and email options (Journals only for now based on demand) via the MyHein feature which is free to any one with a HeinOnline account.

    If there are any features of HeinOnline you would like to see made available, please email holsupport [AT] wshein.com or use the feedback form on the site (goes to the same address) and they will be addressed one way or the other. All feedback and suggestions are taken seriously as the service is constantly evolving to meet the needs of its new and current users.

    Thanks.
