About JSTOR

JSTOR provides full-text access to a full-range of academic journals and books.  Articles in JSTOR are available in PDF.  Each title indexed in JSTOR is subject to a 0-5 year moving wall (embargo period).  Users can search JSTOR by discipline, subject-area, and journal title.  JSTOR refers to a static link as a "Stable URL".

The link to JSTOR can be found via the Databases A-Z page or by using the link below:

Step 2:

Review the results. When you find an item you would like to use, click on the title to bring you to that item's page. 

 

Step 3:

You will see a Stable URL  for the article under the journal information on the left side of the screen.

To make sure this link will work for someone from Bentley from off-campus, you'll need to add the proxy prefix tag before the Stable URL: http://ezp.bentley.edu/login?url=

Please see examples below to see how links with the proxy attached should look:
