Source Collection 1-2-3: ... from Law Journals

If no PDF needed, Lexis or Westlaw

If your journal allows use of non-PDF versions, search Westlaw and Lexis (these are not covered by the "low-hanging fruit" searches).

• Copy/paste each citation into Lexis's front-page search box, or a list of up to 100 citations using Westlaw's Find & Print tool. Use just the volume-journal-page citation (e.g., "21 J. Contemp. Legal Issues 145").

If PDFs needed but not found via "low hanging fruit" search, Hein Online

If a PDF source is not found by Law Books + Articles or Google Scholar articles search, try Hein Online directly for law review, law journal, or other legal periodicals (e.g., ABA journals, state and local bar association newsletters and magazines, etc.):

• Copy/paste the volume-journal-page citation (e.g., "21 J. Contemp. Legal Issues 145") and choose option to search as "citation:( ... )"; use to download or print icon, choosing either the option to deliver the "section" (the entire article) or "selected pages".
• If the citation does not pull up your article, go to "Law Journal Library" (from the Hein Online homepage list of "Browse Databases by Name"), and copy/paste either the article title or author name, and choose option to search as "title:( ... )" or as "author:( ... )"
• You might also want to include a copy of the cover or masthead page of the issue, in case complete citation information (volume, issue, date, exact journal title. etc.) is missing from the other pages collected.

PDFs needed but not found on Hein Online either

Try JSTOR, which has some law journals for some periods (see coverage list for law subject area).

Scanning from print may be the only other option for page image versions - Try LawCat (the Law Library catalog): search for the unabbreviated keywords from the journal name (not the title of the article) or the full name in quotation marks (e.g., "Journal of Contemporary Legal Issues")

• get the year/volume you need from Stacks (or request it if location is "Available at room ..."), as you would for Books found in LawCat, and scan your article (for free!) in the Printer Room on LL1 or the Scanner Room on LL2.
• You might also want to include a copy of the cover or masthead page of the issue, in case complete citation information (volume, issue, date, exact journal title. etc.) is missing from the other pages collected.
