Author Profiles Now Available in HeinOnline

HeinOnline has recently added a new feature that may be of interest to both law faculty and students. Author profile pages are now available through HeinOnline.  Author profiles can be accessed by clicking on the author's name from any particular entry in search results obtained in the Law Journal Library.  (To find a particular author, use an author search.) 

HeinOnline automatically creates a "basic" author profile page for each author, which lists the author's name and listing of his/her articles, the number of times the author's articles have been cited by other articles and cases, and the number of times the articles have been accessed by other HeinOnline users within a rolling 12-month period.  This author information can be very helpful to researchers in evaluating a particular article.

Authors can "enhance" their profiles by adding a photo, biographical information,  university/affiliation, and links to author web pages and social media accounts. The form to set up an enhanced profile is available here.  Once a page has been enhanced, it can be shared with colleagues though email and web link options.  

Below is an example of an enhanced author profile for Darla Jackson, Law Library Director:
