All About Bookmarks

From a Results Page

From a results page in HeinOnline, users can bookmark documents. To do this, locate the bookmark icon to the right of each result.

The icon will prompt users to select a folder that already exists in their MyHein account or select a new folder.

Once you have bookmarked the item, you will receive a confirmation note.

NOTE: If you are NOT logged into your MyHein account, you will receive a note indicating that your bookmark is saved for the current session, but you will need to log in to your MyHein account for it to be saved after your session.

Previously Bookmarked Identifier

Users who are logged in to their MyHein can see if documents within results have already been bookmarked. Never bookmark the same document twice and save valuable research time with this feature.

When researching in HeinOnline, if a document has already been bookmarked in a user's MyHein profile, they will see the bookmark icon greyed out.
