JSTOR is a digital archive collection of core scholarly journals which is accessible to University staff and students on and off campus. JSTOR is the original trademark name of the organisation which began providing these journals in electronic fomat. It stands for 'Journal Storage' - in the sense that libraries can now 'store' their journals electronically rather than retaining all the old bound volumes of journals.
Subject coverage includes Economics, Education, Finance, Geography, History, Mathematics, Philosophy, Political Science and Statistics. Details of the collections available now (Arts & Sciences I & II) and in the future (Arts & Sciences III) together with journal title lists can be found at: http://uk.jstor.org/about/collection.list.html
There are also links to JSTOR from individual title entries on the Library journal web pages. A stable URL is provided for each cited article and permission is given on the site to copy and paste the URL into a web page, making this a useful resource for Blackboard.
To register for off campus access you will need your ATHENS departmental password (available from the Library). Details of how to register - which has to be done on campus - can be found on the library home page by scrolling down to the link for ATHENS passwords.
