  3. What *IS* It, Exactly? • JSTOR is a searchable collection of scholarly resources from journals and books • JSTOR holdings go back to the mid-1800s and feature up-to-date resources as well • It’s multidisciplinary, covering arts, humanities, social sciences, and sciences, and everything in between • It features full-text articles, meaning you can access the entirety of a resource

  4. What Can I Use It For? • JSTOR can provide you with articles and books that are appropriate for research • JSTOR resources are scholarly, meaning they’ve been through peer-review (checked by experts) • These resources are appropriate for inclusion in your research, because they are founded in research • It can provide a good historical look at issues and topics, since the holdings go back so far

  5. What Does It Do? • You can conduct keyword searches (simple and advanced searches) • OR browse by general subject areas • OR browse by specific subject areas • You can also browse by resource titles • Resources can be downloaded or printed • You can email yourself citations (unformatted)

  6. Here’s How It Works In order to access the database, you’ll need to start with the Library’s homepage – so that’s where we’ll start, so you can see JSTOR in action: http://www.ulm.edu/library

  7. Getting To It From Home • Most of the Library’s electronic resources can be accessed remotely – that is, from places other than campus or the Library – via the website • However, in order to use the resources, you’ll have to login • Your login information is very simple: • Username: Campus Wide ID (CWID) • Password: MMYY • JSTOR is one of the resources that can be accessed from off-campus
