From the HeinOnline Update April 2009:

Last month we hosted our first Webinar and concentrated on "Getting Started" in HeinOnline. We had more than 100 attendees and received a lot of great feedback. If you missed the webinar and wish to view it, we have posted a link to the recording at http://heinonline.org/wiki/index.php/HeinOnline:WebinarGettingStarted, or you can view it by clicking here.

Our next webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, May 13, 2009 from 2:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m EDT. This webinar will focus on using and searching HeinOnline's Law Journal library. We will discuss the following:

• How to quickly pull up a journal article when you have a citation
• How to search for a journal article by article name
• How to search for articles written by a specific author
• Browsing or searching by subject, state, or country
• Overview of indexes and finding aids available
• How to use the full power of Hein's ScholarCheck tool to connect citations and view citation analysis
• How to find coverage information for a journal title
• And much more!

New HeinOnline Feature!

Earlier this month HeinOnline began offering a new MyHein bookmarking tool that will allow you to create and organize bookmarks and save search queries into your own personal research account.

With the creation of a MyHein account, you can access your saved research anytime. You set up your own user name and password that only you will have access to.

If you do not wish to create an account, you still have the ability to use the MyHein features for your current research session. This means you can bookmark articles and search queries during your current HeinOnline session, and once you log out of HeinOnline or close your browser, your saved activity is deleted.

For more information and some training tools, see the HeinOnline blog: http://heinonline.blogspot.com/2008/06/myhein-to-be-released-on-monday.html.

Remember, HeinOnline is accessible in the law library, Wyoming State Library, and participating Wyoming county libraries.

In addition, we provide free electronic access to journal articles via HeinOnline in the law library (your local county library also provides access.) The Uniform Laws are available online, via the website from the University of Pennsylvania Biddle Law Library. The Wyoming Statutes Annotated (scroll to the bottom of the page for the Annotated link) and the Wyoming Court Rules are online too.

As always, please let us know if there is anything we can do to help!
