Popular Database Overview

HeinOnline

Introduction:

HeinOnline provides access to over 2800 law and law-related periodicals as well as other legal materials. Journal holdings typically begin from a journal's inception. Access is restricted to Duquesne University faculty, staff, and students.

Access Information:

Users must sign in using their Multipass credentials. If you are using the database off-campus and you encounter a screen that asks you to provide either information on a proxy server or an individual account, select the proxy server and then select Duquesne University.

Tips:

  • HeinOnline offers access to law reviews, ABA journals and newsletters, and state and local bar association publications. Many primary law resources are also available, including many historical documents. HeinOnline can be a good resource to check if you are unable to find older materials in Lexis+ or Westlaw.

  • HeinOnline often offers more comprehensive journal coverage as compared to Westlaw and Lexis+, especially for older materials. However, for some journals, only indexing information is included for the most recent issues of journals. If only indexing information is available for an item, it will show up in light pink highlighting in your search results. 

  • Materials in HeinOnline are in image format, meaning that the materials appear as they were originally printed.

  • Users can sign up for individual MyHein accounts that allow them to save or bookmark items and to set up alerts.
