The library offers you a boatload of new databases from Heinonline:

History of Bankruptcy – Legislative histories of major banking legislation, classic books and scholarly articles.  More information.

U.S. Code – The official U.S. Code is published by the government every 6 years.  HeinOnline has the official codes from 1925 to the most recent 2006 edition.

New York Legal Research Library – Lexis and Westlaw contain lots of New York law sources, but this database contains items that are not on Lexis or Westlaw.  There are fascinating transcripts of historic New York trials, such as the trial of Susan B. Anthony for illegal voting.   It has New York Attorney General Opinions back to 1890, codes back to 1923, law journals and  bar journals (both current and old) , classic books,  a complete collection of New York tax cases and more.   More information.  Heinonline has plans to make a similar collection for Ohio.
