InfoBrief: HeinOnline Journals now included in Google Scholar

Greetings all,

The world now has easier access to your scholarship. HeinOnline 's vast collection of legal journals is now included in Google Scholar. You can easily find both your work, and interdisciplinary citations to your work.

How does it work? Go to Google Scholar and search for your name, an article title, or keywords common to your subject specialty. If the article is available in HeinOnline, it will be included in the search results, like the example below.



When you click on the title link to open the article in Google Scholar, you will see the HeinOnline logo on the right sidebar with a link that says "Subscribers Access." When you click on the access link, you will be taken directly to that article in HeinOnline if you're using your Cornell Law School computer.

Using your law school computer, this process should be seamless. Since our HeinOnline account does not include individual passwords, using Google Scholar from non-law school computers, you'll need to access HeinOnline from the Cornell Law Library web site or the Cornell University Library Catalog.

NOTE: The "Cited by [#]" seems to be consistently incorrect, typically under counting the actual number of citations to a work. Hopefully, Google Scholar will improve that feature soon.

Cheers,
Julie
