Subject Compilation of State Laws
Meet Meg Butler, Editor of the Subject Compilations of State Laws database on HeinOnline.
For four decades Cheryl Nyberg, former law librarian, skillfully edited this award-winning product, recently passing the torch to Meg.
Meg will discuss her law library experience and background, Nyberg’s mentoring, and her new role at HeinOnline. She will also give a short tour of the database.
“This database has revolutionized historical state subject searching as the most comprehensive source for identifying thousands of articles, books, government documents, looseleaf services, court opinions, and the Internet sites that compare state laws across 3500+ subjects. It offers users quick access to over 28,000 bibliographic records, many with extensive annotations. Notably, the annotations link to more than 14,000 articles and documents on HeinOnline, while others connect to case law or external websites. Additionally, users can access current and past volumes in the series and other related works linking to 800+ full-text documents within HeinOnline.”
