Ashland University Library once again has access to nearly 1,000 scholarly journals in JSTOR. JSTOR is the preeminent historical collection of academic journals across a broad range of disciplines. What distinguishes JSTOR from other databases is that instead of emphasizing recent content, JSTOR has assembled an archive of major journals from their earliest available issue up to about five years before the current year.
Ashland's subscription includes the JSTOR Arts & Sciences Collections I-IV and VII. You can see which JSTOR journals are available to us using JSTOR's Browse by Title function. Green circles beside the journal titles indicate the titles and volumes to which we have access.
Over the coming weeks we will be adding records for these journals to the Library Catalog, so that a title search in the Library Catalog will be the quickest way to see whether we have access to any given journal, as it is now for journals in other databases. We'll post a note to this blog when all JSTOR titles have been added to the Catalog.
We will also be adding our JSTOR holdings to our OLinks file. When that is complete the "Find It" links in other databases will link directly to individual JSTOR articles.
Let us know if you have any questions about JSTOR. You can call the Reference desk at 419-289-5402, e-mail us at library@ashland.edu, or text us at 419-768-6106.

Library Spotlight: Journals
By clicking on the “Online Journals by Title” box on the library’s main page, you are actually accessing a lot more than online journals! A search by title will reveal the online full text journals available in the library’s many databases and the Electronic Journal Center at OhioLINK. This search also provides links to the library’s catalog where you can see the holdings of more than 1300 paper and microfiche journals available at the Main library and the Seminary Library. In the example below, a search for the title BOOKLIST, retrieves several format options, one of them is the paper option. By clicking on the link, you can connect to the library's catalog to view detailed holdings and location information.
