When you subscribe to Hein’s Electronic Greenslips Service, you will be issued a master user account with a Username and Password for your organization. You can use the master Username and Password at to log on and use the service. You can also use the master user account to create and administer other user accounts for your organization. You create new user accounts through the Account Management screen. You can access this screen by pressing the “Account Management” button in the menu bar. Yes, the system allows your users to makes changes, but only to their own profiles, and not to the master or other users’ profiles. We recommend that users review their profiles occasionally to take into consideration new subjects or jurisdictions that are added as necessary. All user accounts have a user profile. Besides allowing access to the database through a Username and Password, the user profile deals mostly with automatic notification of new material being added to Hein’s Qbe Greenslip Service database. It controls how and when the user gets notified and for what reason. Through the user profile you can customize the automatic notifications you and your users receive. Notifications can be customized as to email format and frequency. Further customization can be done to filter the bibliographic information in the user’s notification by book type, jurisdiction, and specific subject areas. Theoretically the number is unlimited, but for efficiency and stability we recommend that no more than ten user profiles be set up per account. There are two types of searching that can be done: Quick Search allows you to search by Keyword, ISBN and/or a specific time period . Advanced Search allows you to search by a number of different data points, to control the relationship between the data points being searched, and to view your search results in a number of different orders. 1) Noteworthy: Brings attention to books on timely subjects or to important new or updated works of interest to law libraries. 2) New: Flags books added to the database within the last three months. ?
