What are JSTOR books?
JSTOR books are ebooks made available through the JSTOR platform. Usually, you will be offered the choice of downloading specific chapters, rather than a whole book as you would on some other platforms. JSTOR books can be searched directly in Catalyst, or in JSTOR itself.
Where can I find JSTOR?
You can always find a link to the library's JSTOR subscription on the "Databases" tab on the library website. By linking to JSTOR through the library website, you ensure that you are using our subscription.
