Database Trials
JSTOR Arts, Humanities and Social Studies
Is a full-text periodical database. The content for this database is NOT current articles, but is archived content that ranges from the first year the journal came out to a date which is arranged with each journal’s publisher. Typically this is 3-7 years.
JSTOR has different “collections.” You can read the descriptions of them (below) and then access them through the trial link. When you give me feedback on the trial, please be specific about which collection(s) you would find useful for your students. There are some other options, and I can give you more information on those if you contact me.
