JSTOR access

I received an email a few hours ago from Reed College announcing that alumni will henceforth be able to access JSTOR over the internet through the Reed library.

*This new benefit of alumni status is part of JSTOR's initiative to offer alumni access for participating institutions, increasing its efforts to extend access to scholarship for individuals around the world: “this growing digital library of more than 1,900 academic journals, 15,000 books, and 2 million primary source objects is available to more than 10,000 institutions in more than 160 countries.” Learn more at http://about.jstor.org/alumni/.

Largest library card I've ever been given, and a start on making it available to anyone who can make use of it.

Re: JSTOR access

Roger,

I will be interested in seeing how you make out with this. I have found that everytime I look for something in the Clark Jstor portal, it isn’t there.

Let me know what you find.

And among the most expensive ones: $223,680 of tuition for that library card.

Re: JSTOR access

That's tuition, room, and board in 2013 education dollars. Tuition was much less 40 years ago, but still not cheap.

Hey Nick --

Things that are supposed to be there aren't there? Or things you wish were there aren't there? JSTOR doesn't archive everything.

There are only 10 Chemistry titles archived in JSTOR, the rest of the literature is out there making money for the publishers.
