Database of the Month: JSTOR

The Database of the Month for October is JSTOR.  JSTOR is an archival collection of hundred of journals encompassing the humanities, social sciences, and sciences disciplines.  The collections include Arts & Sciences, Life Sciences, and e-book collections that are all searchable from a single interface.  Searching with the Advanced Search screen option allows you to filter results by source - articles, reviews, pamplets, etc - and by subject discipline allowing the user to create powerful and specific searches.

The best part?  JSTOR is completely full text - meaning that you will always be able to get the .PDF copy of the article that you are looking for.  It also contains plenty of books reviews, so if you ever find yourself looking for a review to see what an author's peers said about a work you can often find a review in the collection.

Within JSTOR, users can choose to create personal accounts.  A personal account will allow you to save articles and citations as you continue your research.

Find JSTOR on the library's Databases: Find Articles page.

Access to library databases is limited to the current students, staff, and faculty of Monmouth College.
