JSTOR

About JSTOR: JSTOR (Journal Storage Project) is a nonprofit organization whose goals include building a reliable and comprehensive archive of important scholarly journal literature, increasing access to these journals, and helping fill gaps in existing library collections of journal backfiles. To this end, it provides the complete back files of approximately 488 important research journals in the humanities, social sciences and sciences. Journals are scanned, so that they include full page images that look just like the original. JSTOR's agreements with publishers include an updating provision referred to as a "moving wall." The moving wall is a fixed period of time ranging, in most cases, from 2 to 5 years, that defines the gap between the most recently published issue and the date of the most recent issues available in JSTOR. Note: journals accessible in JSTOR are also available through MUSCAT , the library catalog.
