Hi, this is Hilary Bussell for Ohio University Libraries. In this video I am going to show
you how to find articles from law reviews using the database HeinOnline.
To get to HeinOnline from the library homepage, select the Database tab and type HeinOnline.
Click on the purple connect button. If you are off campus, you will be asked to log on
with your Ohio ID and password at this point.
We're on the homepage of HeinOnline now. You can see on the left all of the different collections
HeinOnline contains. Right now we're just interested in searching for law review articles,
which is linked at the top. If we wanted to search a more specific set of law journals,
we could select from the list underneath. But I want my search to be as comprehensive
as possible so I'm going to select the general Law Journal Library.
On the search page I'm going to go straight to the Advanced Search because it will let
me be more precise in my search.
I'm going to use the search terms "human trafficking" AND "united nations". Note that it tells us
here that you need to put Boolean operators in all caps in this database. Boolean operators
are the words connecting search terms--in this case I'm using AND. Next I'm going to
select Human Rights under subject. And finally I'm going to de-select the box next to Include
results from other HeinOnline Collections. I only want to search the Law Journal Library.
I have 285 results. Right now my results are sorted by Relevance. What if I want to see
the articles that have been cited the most? If I go up to Sort By and select Number of
Times Cited, I will see the most-cited articles at the top of my results.
If I want to quickly see where in a given article my search terms occur, I can click
on View Matching Text Pages.
I have the option to go directly to a page where a search term occurs if I want to read
further around a section.
Once I'm in the page view, I can move to other articles in my results by selecting them on
the left, without having to go back to the search results page.
I can pull up a list of articles that cite the article I'm looking at by selecting the
link toward the top of the page. This is a really good feature to use if I'm writing
a literature review and I want to find as many sources that are relevant to a given
issue as I can, or if I just want a better sense of the impact an article has had and
the scholarly conversation that it's a part of.
If I want to download an article, I can click on the Printer icon at the top. This will
open a new page where I have the option to Print or Download as a PDF. This will download
it to my computer.
If you have any question about HeinOnline or any other library resource, don't hesitate
to ask us.
