Q. What is JSTOR and how do I access it?

JSTOR Archival Collections is a database including full text articles from more than 2,800 leading academic journals in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. JSTOR specializes in archival and retrospective full text access, often providing complete coverage to the journal's first issue. Many JSTOR journals have an embargo period of 6 years or less in which newer content is available through a separate database.

Fuller Library subscribes to JSTOR's Arts and Sciences collections that blend historical journal content with licensed eBooks and a broad range of historical primary sources, including photos and printed ephemera. All of these JSTOR Archival Collections can be accessed via JSTOR’s one search integrated platform.

Additional information about JSTOR platform features and research tools is available, including text analyzers for searching the database by document contents or literary passage.

Links to JSTOR are conveniently located on our databases page. JSTOR content is also indexed and searchable in our library online catalog, and journal titles are independently searchable in BrowZine, our new eJournal program.

You will need to use your Fuller ID username and password when prompted to login for database access.
