Most major U.S. journals specifically devoted to legal scholarship are available via the Library's subscription to HeinOnline. HeinOnline provides access to more than 1,700 law and law-related periodicals. Coverage is from the first issue published up through the most-currently published issue allowed based on contracts with publishers. Therefore, in some cases the current issues are available, but sometimes a user will notice a one-volume delay. Searching can be done by title or author name, and full-text searching of the whole collection or selected periodicals is also an option. A key benefit is the ability to download, print and e-mail the archived articles in PDF format.
These indexes and databases provide author, subject and title access to the vast array of published and online legal scholarship.
