Heinonline's Keyword Search Builder

Heinonline has a new search function that will help you weight the importance of your search terms for their larger search databases. This will give you more accurate results and allow you to better gauge term effectiveness. 

When searching for law review and journal articles in Heinonline's Law Journal Library (Boley A-Z List>H>Heinonline>LawJournal Library) select the Advanced Search.

Next, select the Keyword Search Builder from the far right of the page.

Finally, choose keywords and slide the bar next to each keyword to indicate how to prioritize your keywords. You can also choose a date range for your search.
