How Do I Get Started Searching in JSTOR?
The JSTOR database stores the back issues of many journal titles.
Starting from the library homepage:
- Use the drop down menu on the search bar to select "Databases"
- Type in "JSTOR" as your search term
- Click one of the records of JSTOR from the database look up.
- We recommend using the advanced search to refine your results and ensure your access type is set to "Content I can access." You can also filter to your field of study below the main search options.
- At any time, you can hit "Modify Search" to change your advanced options and narrow your search further.
- Once you find an article that suits your needs, you can copy citations, save to your JSTOR account, or download as a PDF.
If you are looking for more current content, use Articles and More on our main Library Search or a database specific to your discipline.
If you ever need help with JSTOR, contact us, make an appointment with a Subject Librarian, or visit staff at a library service desk for assistance.
