[HeinOnline listserv] CFR Now Available in HeinOnline

Tue Oct 31 21:58:03 UTC 2006

Dear HeinOnline subscribers,

Today is an historic day for the online research community.  

HeinOnline ( http://heinonline.org) is pleased to announce the availability of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) from inception in 1938 through the 1983 edition.  All editions inclusive of this period as well as all supplements for this time frame are now easily accessible online for the very first time in an image-based (PDF), searchable format.  Access to historic Code of Federal Regulations content could not be easier!

For those HeinOnline subscribers who may not be familiar with the CFR, the CFR is the codification of the general and permanent rules published in the Federal Register (also available in HeinOnline from its' inception in 1936) by the executive departments and agencies of the U.S. Federal Government. The CFR is divided into 50 titles that represent broad areas subject to U.S. Federal regulation.  

HeinOnline's CFR content is located within HeinOnline's Federal Register library collection (  <http://heinonline.org/HOL/Index?collection=fedreg> http://heinonline.org/HOL/Index?collection=fedreg).  Therefore, anyone subscribing to HeinOnline's Federal Register library has access to the new CFR content at this time.

Currently, the 1938 through 1983 editions of the CFR in HeinOnline have been electronically indexed to the Book level.  Additionally, content from 1938 through 1949, as well as 1977 through 1983 has been electronically indexed to the Part level.  In future enhancements, all content will be electronically indexed to the Part level.  

The CFR content in HeinOnline consists of approximately 1250 books totaling nearly 780,000 pages.  With the CFR release, HeinOnline has surpassed the 23 million page level (23.2 million to be more precise!).  

An overview video of the new CFR content may be accessed from the HeinOnline home page, or by going to this link:   <http://www.projectstreamer.com/users/wshein/cfr3/CFR3.html> http://www.projectstreamer.com/users/wshein/cfr3/CFR3.html

At the end of the video, a short series of questions are provided, which do not need to be submitted to us.  We are merely providing this series of questions to further emphasize the new features and benefits of HeinOnline's CFR content.

Many, many subscribers have been anticipating the CFR release in HeinOnline.  Therefore, we hope you will submit comments, suggestions and questions to  <mailto:marketing at wshein.com> marketing at wshein.com.

On behalf of everyone at William S. Hein & Co., Inc., thank you for the support you provide to our company and HeinOnline.  We hope you enjoy access to the CFR content and other library modules available.

Sincerely,
Brian Jablonski
