HeinOnline’s Venn Diagram Search Feature

HeinOnline’s Venn Diagram Search allows researchers to visualize the results of various keywords to better refine their searches, saving valuable time and effort and eliminating the need to continuously edit a search.  You can find this tool within the Advanced Search feature of the Law Journal Library.

After selecting Venn Diagram Search, users will be redirected to a page with a search bar, instructions for its use, and a few example searches. Search for multiple terms separated with the Boolean operator “AND.”  For example, perform a search using the terms “child,” “labor,” and “rights.” Enter each term into the search bar, separating each with the word “AND.” Click the Search button to bring up a Venn Diagram illustrating the various combinations of those terms and their respective results yield within the Law Journal Library. The original search combining all three terms (child AND labor AND rights) will appear by default, visually represented by the red intersection of all three circles in the diagram.
