Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals (Hein online)
Use general search principles:
Quotation marks: “united nations” for phrase searching
Asterisk: state* for truncation- finds state, states, statehood etc..
The Near operator (N#): finds words near each other regardless of word order.
o E.g.. legal N5 principles will find legal principles as well as principles of legal reform.
The Within Operator: (W#) - finds words in the order in which you entered them.
o In the above example using W4 would find legal principles but not principles of legal reform.
Subject headings of articles help you gather related articles on a particular topic or concept
