About JSTOR!
Library home > Articles > General Article Databases > JSTOR
Everyone Loves JSTOR:
- interdisciplinary
- scholarly
- full text available AND searchable - you may find topics you won't find elsewhere because they're only part of an article on a related topic
- covers journals from their earliest publication dates
CAUTIONS:
- DOES NOT INCLUDE THE LAST 3-5 YEARS of a journal! not good for contemporary topics!
- doesn't include as many journals in a particular discipline as the discipline-specific database (example: MLA Bibliography for literature)
