HeinOnline Searchable PDFs

HeinOnline has recently added a layer of text behind the image PDFs in the English Reports library, which means that subscribers can now search through downloaded documents in their PDF readers. Hein aims to make all its PDFs searchable by the end of the year. The next libraries that will be released in searchable form are: European Center for Minority Issues, Foreign & International Law Resources Database, Philip C. Jessup Library, Manual of Patent Examining Procedure (MPEP), and the U.S. Attorney General Opinions Library.

There’s a video demonstrating the use of this new facility.
