Library Resource Spotlight: JSTOR
Introducing JSTOR – a digital library of academic journals, books, and primary sources!
This digital library contains more than 2 million primary sources across four collections, including artifacts, specimens, and documents; more than 2,800 scholarly journals in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences, and more then 158,000 ebooks.
Users can explore the content by using a basic search in the general search bar or an advanced search using the advanced search feature, where searches can be broken down into smaller specific pieces. There is also the option to browse by collection or by subject area too.
There is also a functionality called JSTOR Workspace, where users can create a personal JSTOR account, which will allows for easy saving of materials, organising items, and citations. In order to access Keele’s subscribed JSTOR content from a personal JSTOR account, users first need to log into Keele’s institutional account using their Keele username and password, before creating a personal account. There is also a help page for logging into JSTOR using an institutional or personal account.
For access, using Keele’s institutional account, please select ‘login’, then ‘Find my institution’ and search for ‘Keele University’. Log in with your Keele username and password. JSTOR is also available on the library’s A-Z of online resources and there’s a handy help page too!
