More Archival Journals

The Middlebury College community has expanded its journal coverage in JSTOR, (“JAY-store” short for journal storage). We have 502 more titles than we had a couple of weeks ago ranging across the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. Most of JSTOR’s journal content is “archival” (published more than 3-5 years ago and dating back to the early 20th century).

More Current Journals

In order to expand our current journal holdings in addition to our archival holdings, we’ve expanded our access to current journals. (See JSTOR – not just for archives anymore for some background.) We now have access to the most recent issues of 226 journals, largely from university presses and scholarly societies.


JSTOR for Alumni

As well, we are now able to offer Middlebury alumni from the College, Bread Loaf, and Language School programs access to all our JSTOR collections* through Middlebury Online, the alumni community website. Alumni can access JSTOR here.

 

*At this time, only JSTOR’s archival collections are available off-campus to alumni.
