As part of its mission, JSTOR is not only creating a trusted
archive of important scholarly journals, but it is also endeavoring to extend
access to that archive to as many scholars as possible. To help facilitate the
"access" portion of our mission, we feel it is important that participating
faculty, students, libraries, and publishers have the ability to link from various
resources (course syllabi, web projects, A&I databases, local online catalogs,
current issues of journals, etc.) directly to the full-text articles, book reviews,
editorials, etc. in the JSTOR archive. We also feel it is important to work
closely with non-participating institutions, when appropriate, to establish
access from other electronic resources to the JSTOR archive.
To simplify the process of creating article level access into the JSTOR archive,
we have developed a set of tools that will derive article location information
from basic citation information that you provide. That article location information
is presented in the form of a SICI-based URL. It is our hope that this toolset
will result in simplifying the process, and will assist in sustaining the
quality and permanence of the links that are created.
How to Link with JSTOR
To help guide you through the linking process, we have provided some specific
instructions based upon our most frequently received linking requests.
JSTOR Participating Institutions:
To create
an online bibliography or class syllabus with links to
articles in the JSTOR archive - for individual librarians, faculty members,
students, and scholars at participating institutions.
To automate
the creation of links to articles in the JSTOR archive from your local
A&I databases, OPAC, or library webpages - for those affiliated with a JSTOR
participating library.
JSTOR Participating Publishers
You represent a JSTOR participating publisher and wish
to automate the creation of links from the current issues of journals you publish
to articles in the JSTOR archive.
Non-Participating Organizations
You represent a non-participating organization , such
as a provider of electronic resources (A&I database, e-journal aggregator,
integrated library system) and wish to automate the creation of links from that
resource to the JSTOR archive.
If none of these situations apply to you, or if you need further information,
please
contact us and we will be happy to answer any
questions or provide additional assistance.
