Most major U.S. journals specifically devoted to legal scholarhip are available via the Library's subscription to HeinOnline, or as otherwise indicated. To access HeinOnline from off campus you must have a valid Loyola user ID and password. There are a number of free portals to law journal content as well, as noted in the Free Electronic Journal Sources Section. Our print law journals are located on the 4th floor of the Law Library arranged alphabetically by title. Law School faculty can request that the Library’s copy of current issues of print periodicals be routed to them. Please contact the Reference Department at LoyolaLawReference@luc.edu to arrange for a title to be routed to you.
HeinOnline provides access to more than 1,700 law and law-related periodcials. Coverage is from the first issue published up through the most-currently published issue allowed based on contracts with publishers. Therefore, in some cases the current issues are available, but sometimes a user will notice a one-volume delay. Searching can be done by title or author name, and full-text searching of the whole collection or selected periodicals is also an option. A key benefit is the ability to download, print and e-mail the archived articles in PDF format. For additional assistance, HeinOnline's Web site includes this Quick Reference Guide to the Law Journal Library (PDF).
These indexes and databases provide author, subject and title access to the vast array of published and online legal scholarship.
