HeinOnline Enhancement: Publisher Links to Articles in the Law Journal Library

Select journals in the Law Journal Library in HeinOnline are delayed per the publisher agreements with HeinOnline. Now, when searching in the Law Journal Library, if you click on a result to a delayed issue, we will provide a direct link to the issue on the publishers website, provided the issue is available on the publishers website. We have added this new linking to nearly 130 delay volumes in the Law Journal Library.

If you have any questions about this new enhancement, please contact marketing@wshein.com

Coming Soon: Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act

We are pleased to announce the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Public Law No. 111-203, Stat. 1376 compiled by William H. Manz, will be added to HeinOnline's Taxation & Economic Reform in America, Parts I & II by the end of November!

This controversial Act was signed by President Obama July 21, 2010 and represents an attempt to deal with the problem of "too-big-to-fail" financial institutions, in response to the abuses that led to the Great Recession. It imposes new requirements and creates new agencies, which will exercise authority over companies that are believed to be a risk to the nation's financial stability and give the power to obtain financial information from these companies. This Act marks an end to the era of financial deregulation.

This work contains more than 140 documents and is broken down into nine parts, including: The Law, Reports on the Law, Bill Versions, Related Bills, Presidential Meetings, Congressional Record, Related Reports, Related Hearings and Congressional Budget Offices.

New HeinOnline Homepage - Information for IP Authenticated Institutions

We appreciate all of the feedback we have received from the launch of our new HeinOnline homepage.

A common concern among IP authenticated institutions is the new Log In to HeinOnline link on the new homepage. This link is the same as the green "Subscribers Click Here to Enter" link, just with a new look.

If you are IP authenticated:
clicking "Log in to HeinOnline" will take you to your subscribed libraries page. Alternatively, you may choose to access your subscribed libraries via this link: http://heinonline.org/HOL/Welcome and completely bypass the HeinOnline homepage.

If you are not IP authenticated:
clicking "Log in to HeinOnline" will take you to a login page, where you will be asked for your username and password. After entering your username and password, you will then be taken to your subscribed libraries page.

TIP:
If you are IP authenticated and would like to always go straight to your subscribed libraries page in HeinOnline, bookmark this link: http://heinonline.org/HOL/Welcome as HeinOnline in your browser.

If you have any questions, please let us know.

If your institution/agency/company falls into this category and your IT staff has the entry for HeinOnline configured as recommended with *.heinonline.org you should not experience any problems. If you are hard coding the HeinOnline IP addresses (not recommended) the address of this new server is 208.69.85.203.
