Facilitating Access to JSTOR
Over the past year, JSTOR has undertaken a number of new
initiatives aimed at improving access to JSTOR for affiliated users and
expanding access options for unaffiliated users. Listed below are three of the
most recent.
Register & Read Beta
Register & Read is a new, experimental program that offers free,
read-online access to individual scholars and researchers who register for a free MyJSTOR account.
Register & Read includes a subset of the
content on JSTOR–currently 75 titles from more than 40 publishers. Additional titles will be added at a later date. With your MyJSTOR account you will be able to add to a reading shelf up to three items in journals not under subscription by Marist. There are no fees for this service.

Early Journal Content
JSTOR is making journal
content in JSTOR published prior to 1923 in the United States and prior to 1870
elsewhere freely available to anyone, anywhere in the world. This “Early
Journal Content” includes discourse and scholarship in the arts and humanities,
economics and politics, and in mathematics and other sciences. It includes
nearly 500,000 articles from more than 385 journals, representing over 6% of the
content on JSTOR. For Marist, the Early Journal Content provides access to 195 additional titles.
Early Journal Content is available for use by anyone, without
registration and regardless of institutional affiliation. Making this Early
Journal Content freely available is part of JSTOR's ongoing work to expand access
to content on JSTOR, particularly for individuals who are not affiliated with
academic institutions or libraries. For more information, view this 2 minute 17 second video, " Free Early Journal Content."
The James A. Cannavino LIbrary has integrated the Jstor Free Early Journal Content into Fox Hunt and into the regular Jstor Search interface.
Institution
Finder
JSTOR's Institution Finder gives users who have not yet logged in to JSTOR the ability to locate his/her institution from a list on the JSTOR website, log in to that host institution,
and be returned to the page they started on at JSTOR.
The of Institution Finder is to smooth authentication for the growing number of end
users who are coming directly to JSTOR, unauthenticated, from a variety of
places such as Google, Google Scholar, and Wikipedia.
For specific instructions, view this 1 minute 11 second video, "How to Use Institution Finder".
