Dear Colleagues,

In the past four weeks of the COVID-19 emergency, more than 3,400 libraries have taken advantage of our expanded access options to serve their displaced patrons. We're writing to share new initiatives to support remote teaching and learning that we recently released, as we're mindful that librarians and administrators are currently receiving an elevated amount of communications.

Know someone who might find this information useful? Please let them know they can consult our regularly updated COVID-19 resources page and they can sign up to receive our announcements at about.jstor.org/mailings.

Your friends at JSTOR

JSTOR editors collaborated with our participating publishers to build a selection of 6,000 journal articles related to COVID-19 and make them freely available through June 30, 2020.

The selection draws from disciplines across the humanities, sciences, and social sciences to cover the far reaching impact of pandemics, from the money we spend to the food we eat.

JSTOR and our participating publishers have made 26 newly released Public Health journals available for free access through June 30, 2020.

Topics include Epidemiology, Health Policy and Administration, Occupational and Environmental Health, Health Equity and the Culture of Health, Aging, Bioethics, and Health Promotion.

To support independent researchers at a time when they are unable to get to physical libraries, we have expanded our free read-online access from 6 to 100 free articles per month through June 30, 2020. This access may also help students and faculty who have been displaced from their home institutions, though the option to log in through their institution will always be presented as the first choice.

We are working to help users get access through their institution and have created suggestions to help with remote access.

As classrooms and libraries have gone online-only, we created a bootstrap resource to help faculty find content and organize it for distance teaching, and included a list of helpful pointers they can share with students to help them do research, write, and study from home.
