FAX 409-933-8030 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License One of the great values of working within JSTOR is that a search can yield results across many different content types. Here we will share ways to leverage different formats of content to explore educational value beyond research projects.
JSTOR digitizes the full back runs of journals. This includes the first issue published and up to 3-5 years from the present. JSTOR's historical depth makes it possible to analyze changing attitudes and cultural beliefs, and read classic works in over 60 disciplines. The oldest journal on JSTOR is Philosophical Transactions, which began publication in 1665. Academic journals frequently include book reviews. Book reviews are helpful for students working to understand the reception to a work of literature or key insights to academic publications.
Within the advanced search options on JSTOR, a student can limit their results to reviews, but a search of all content related to a book title may yield even richer results. You can track the evolution of an idea over long periods of time. Scholarly discourse within a particular field across publications is a valuable research exercise. These ebooks, which reflect JSTOR’s high standards for quality content, are freely available for anyone in the world to use. Each ebook carries one of six Creative Commons licenses determined by the publisher. The titles are easy to use, with no DRM restrictions and no limits on chapter PDF downloads or printing.
