HeinOnline's Tip of the Week: How to export or email search results

Do you need to share your search results with other people in your organization? Do you want to export your search results from the law journal library to CSV, EndNote, or Refworks? Here is a short tutorial on how to get your search results out of HeinOnline and into your hands.

This tutorial is based on search results from the Law Journal Library. Only results from this library can be exported to CSV, EndNote, or Refworks. Results from any library can be emailed.
Also, This tutorial uses the MyHein tool. HeinOnline users can utilize the MyHein tool whether or not they have created their own MyHein account. However, users without a MyHein account will not have their bookmarked data saved on the website after they close their browser. MyHein accounts are free, and available to all users of HeinOnline.

1. Let's start off with a list of search results in the Law Journal Library.


2. I've decided that only a couple of these results are relevant to what I am looking for. So, I've checked the boxes located to the left of the results that I want to export.


3. After I've selected the articles I want to export, I look below the search results.
Making sure that "Save to MyHein Bookmarks" is selected in the drop-down, I click "Save".


Once "Save" is clicked, I'm presented with a dialog confirming the citations that will be saved. I am also given the opportunity to tag them in a "general" category, or create my own tag. I've decided to tag them as "Buffalo Research". Once you've decided on a tag, be sure to click "Enter Into Research".


4. After clicking the "Enter Into Research" button, HeinOnline will confirm that the citations have been bookmarked under the tag I selected.

I can now access my bookmarked articles by clicking the red "click here" link in the confirmation pictured above, OR I can click the "MyHein" tab at the top of the screen and then click the "Saved Bookmarks" link in that tab.


5. After using one of the above options to go to the Saved Bookmarks page, I am presented with the bookmarks I saved. I've decided that I want to email these two citations to myself, so I click the "Check All" button to select both citations in the list. I then select "Email" from the options list and click "Submit". If I had decided to export the list instead, I would have simply selected one of those options from the list.

A window then opens that gives me the option to enter an email address to send the list to, as well as the option to add a note to the email.

I then click the "Email" button to send the email. Its that simple.

HeinOnline's Tip of the Week: How to Open PDF files directly in Acrobat

Recently, some users have reported problems saving the PDFs that they have downloaded from HeinOnline. The problem in particular is that their option to save the PDF has actually disappeared! We believe that the cause of the disappearing 'Save' button is one of Windows Vista's security measures. In some cases Windows does not recognize the origin of the PDF file, and in order to protect the user, it removes the ability to save the file to the computer. If you are experiencing this problem, we have provided a simple way of saving your files without have to alter your security settings.

These instructions apply to those HeinOnline users using Adobe Acrobat, or Acrobat Reader. Changing these setting will cause the Adobe program to open the file outside of your browser window. Once the file is opened in the Adobe program, you can print or save the file just as you normally would.

Open Adobe Acrobat/Acrobat Reader:

1.Click the 'Edit' Menu, and then select 'Preferences'.

2.Click the "Internet" option listed in the left-hand panel. Then, uncheck the option "Display PDF in browser"
