ArXiv preprint server plans multimillion-dollar overhaul
A multimillion-dollar funding drive is being readied to transform arXiv, the vastly popular repository to which physicists, computer scientists and mathematicians flock to share their research preprints openly.
But the results of an enormous user survey published this week suggest that researchers are wary of drastic changes to a site that has become an essential part of the infrastructure of modern science.

After the recent sale of SSRN to Thomson Reuters there was some discussion among law faculty about the possibility of launching a new service based on ArXiv or something like it. This article serves to remind us that such a project is feasible, but likely requires strong backing of a major law school or university.

HeinOnline Law Reviews Now Available on Fastcase Adding Secondary Sources to the FC Mix
Today, we’re happy to launch the second phase of this partnership, integrating HeinOnline’s extensive law review collection in Fastcase. Using your Fastcase account, you now have access to search one of the most comprehensive databases of law review articles in the world. The HeinOnline collection includes more than 2,000 law review titles, each going back to the first page of the first volume. It’s by far the largest collections of law reviews and law journals in the world — and starting today, you can search the entire collection in Fastcase, and subscribe to HeinOnline whenever you want at a discount.
This expansion of the Fastcase HeinOnline partnership that was announced last year brings secondary legal materials to researchers using Fastcase’s primary materials. Fastcase will offer its subscribers with suggested results from HeinOnline resources that compliment the primary resources found. Researchers need a separate subscription to HeinOnline to view the HO articles.
Overall this service will be a boon for Fastcase subscribers and make the service more valuable to legal researchers both in practice and in academia.
