In the research world, time is often critical when it comes to billable hours and project deadlines. The HeinOnline support team has compiled a short list of tasks which can be accomplished in less than 15 seconds in HeinOnline. This list is by no means comprehensive.
NOTES
- All tasks begin on the HeinOnline Welcome Page.
- There are multiple ways to find material in HeinOnline; these are merely suggested methods.
- If you happen to be a wicked-fast typist, you can probably beat our times and we encourage you to try.
