Exciting New Online Resource Features

This month brings a few new features and additions to CanLII and HeinOnline.

CanLII has added the ability to upload your own documents to Lexbox. This new feature lets you keep all your research in one place and use CanLII’s resources like Reflex to automatically link to cited cases and legislation. You can also set up alerts and feeds based on information in your document. For those who subscribe to Clio, you can also now link to CanLII to add a timer straight to the header of every page.

While you are over on CanLII, check out this blog post that analyses how COVID-19 has affected how people are using CanLII, what they are looking for, and why that might be. It includes a really cool animated bar graph.

Over on HeinOnline, they have added a long desired search feature. Users can now search multiple selected databases at a time, right from their HeinOnline welcome page. Now, instead of searching one database at a time, you can select the ones you think will be most useful. This also includes filtering results to help narrow down queries.

HeinOnline has also continued to add new journals to its Law Journal Library, with a collection of now 2,900 titles. If you are interested more in specific authors, scroll down to their Tip of the Month to read more about their Author profile pages.

New Feature and Journals on HeinOnline

HeinOnline has added a new feature that helps users organize their most used databases and items. Users can now mark their favorite databases so they show up first on their home page.

You will need to create your own MyHein Account which is separate from your Law Society account but will stack with the Library’s access to HeinOnline. Your account will also give you the ability to bookmark, save queries, and create alerts. Find out more by reading the MyHein User Guide.

While your there, you can also check out the new journals added to HeinOnline this month.
