Library search provides access to a vast range of online resources, and during the COVID-19 period, some of our publishers and online suppliers have provided additional content, to help students who are currently unable to visit the Library buildings.
One of these suppliers is JSTOR, an organization established in 1995 to digitise the older volumes of academic print journals. The University of Dundee already subscribes to a number of collections from JSTOR, and these online journals are among the most well used e-resources in our Library. Within a JSTOR archive, journal articles are typically available right back to their first volume. Often, these will be publications which began in the mid 20th century, or even earlier (The English Historical Review has full JSTOR coverage of all articles from 1886 up to 2014). JSTOR does not cover the very recent years of a journal. The English Historical Review for example is now being published by Oxford University press, and you will find the current years of articles on their website.
JSTOR has opened up their full archive to Universities worldwide during the Covid crisis, and until the end of 2020, we have temporary access to all the following collections:
Archive Journal Collections
- Arts & Sciences I-XV
- Business IV
- Ecology & Botany II
- Hebrew Journals
- Ireland
- Jewish Studies
- Life Sciences
Thematic Collections
- Lives of Literature
- Security Studies
- Sustainability
Primary Source Collections
- 19th Century British Pamphlets
- World Heritage Sites: Africa
- Struggles for Freedom: Southern Africa
- Global Plants
To take advantage of these huge and interesting collections, login to the JSTOR site, with your University of Dundee username and password http://www.jstor.org/
Note that all the journals included in our JSTOR access can be found by their titles in the Library Search service
