Printing: |
For remote users, optimal printing from the JSTOR collection requires the JPRINT helper application. When you are viewing an article, the "Print Article" button on the navigational toolbar leads you to a page of printing options. Users in the Library click on the print button to get the pages downloaded for printing. |
|
Downloading the JPRINT Helper: |
Remote, first-time users should download JPRINT from this page. JPRINT enables high-quality printing, much superior to printing articles using the Netscape print feature. Versions of JPRINT are available for different operating systems and browsers. You may customize the helper the first time you use JSTOR. |
As a database, JSTOR combines scanned images of journal pages for display and printing with a linked text file, allowing users to conduct full-text searches through back issues of selected journals.
JSTOR's initial goal is to provide electronic access to back issues of core journals in the humanities, social sciences and sciences. There are currently over 117 scholarly journals available from the JSTOR archive, with additional titles coming in the year 2000. The most recent issues of each journal are not included.

The JSTOR archive offers complete backfiles of selected scholarly journals, which have been digitized, starting with the very first issues, many of which date from the 1800s. By the year 2000, a minimum of 100 journals in a variety of fields will be accessible in the JSTOR database. Over 2 million pages are now available, and approximately 100,000 pages are added to the database each month. Issues of journals are never "checked-out or missing"; they are always accessible, and in pristine condition.

The capacity for searching across disciplines opens up new possibilities for scholarship and research.
