At JSTOR, we're on a mission to improve the research experience for you and your students! We've had a full summer of adding new content, expanding our Open Access initiative, and piloting image search. Read on to learn more and register for our upcoming webinar.

More than 3,200 scholarly ebooks are freely available to researchers around the world! Top publishers such as the University of California Press, Cornell University Press, and Brill have contributed titles. The full text of this content is fully searchable and accessible on JSTOR.org, and you can check out some of our most-used titles below:

In addition, more than 600 out-of-print books published by El Colegio de México will be digitized and made available on an Open Access basis on JSTOR, thanks to a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. We are delighted to work with El Colegio de México to make its scholarly works freely available to researchers. The titles will be available by the end of 2018.

Did you know that you can access Artstor's public collections for free? These include more than one million images, videos, documents, and audio files from libraries' special collections, faculty research, and institutional history materials, as well as hundreds of thousands of images from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Anyone may view and download these collections at library.artstor.org—no subscription or login required.

If you're at one of the 1,400+ institutions that subscribe to both JSTOR and Artstor, you'll also see images at the top of your JSTOR search results. Some fruitful terms to test this feature include World War I or Hagia Sophia. Or, of course, try your own search! This feature is currently in the pilot stage, and we welcome your feedback on what you’re seeing or would like to see.

If you work with novice researchers, this webinar is for you! In this 40-minute session, we'll demonstrate tools to help you and your students discover, annotate, and organize content within JSTOR. The discussion will include our brand-new My Workspace feature and the award-winning Text Analyzer search tool.

JSTOR Labs recently released Cultural History Baseball Cards, the fruits of a week-long flash build hosted by the Library of Congress to find new ways to connect the growing number of digital collections available to researchers.

The beta site brings together scholarly and cultural materials related to baseball from the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture, JSTOR, and Wikimedia. Explore the site through "baseball cards" for the players, managers, and executives who have shaped the game's history; each card links to relevant scholarly articles, images, and multimedia files. If you have any feedback on this project, please reach out to us at labs@jstor.org.

If you have any questions about using JSTOR, please feel free to reach out to our support team.


Thank you, and best wishes,
