The University of Lincoln has full-text access to 500+ digitised journals through JSTOR, held in three collections: JSTOR Arts & Sciences I, II and III.
JSTOR is a “not–for–profit organization dedicated to helping the scholarly community discover, use, and build upon a wide range of intellectual content in a trusted digital archive“. It’s one of the most heavily-used e-journals services in the humanities.
However, logging in to JSTOR is not always straightforward. Here are some tips:
~~~ Tip #1 ~~~
The easiest way to access JSTOR is via the University Portal, at:
(Log in using your University of Lincoln network\accountID and password.)
~~~ Tip #2 ~~~
If you come across an article stored in JSTOR when you are searching the web (e.g. via Google Scholar), you can log in from the JSTOR login page, as follows:
- Scroll down the page to the section marked “ACCESS JSTOR THROUGH A PARTICIPATING INSTITUTION”.
- Ignore the option marked ‘Athens login’ – it’s not used in this case.
- In the “Select your country” box, select “United Kingdom”.
- In the “Select your institution” box, select “University of Lincoln”.
- Click the “LOGIN” button.
- Then, click on the link to “Go to the University of Lincoln login page” and enter your University of Lincoln network\accountID and password.
- (If, for whatever reason, your web browser hasn’t correctly recognised that you’re a member of the University of Lincoln, you might be presented with an Athens username/password option. If you see one of these screens, click on the “Alternative login” option, search for “University of Lincoln” and you should be sent to the correct login option. [See these login tips])
~~~ Tip #3 ~~~
If neither of these methods of access are working properly, try the alternative login at the following address:
(Log in using your University of Lincoln network\accountID and password.)
(Technical note: this alternative method of access uses LibResProxy, a CGI proxy application which mimics IP-based on-campus authentication. It will be much slower than normal access, and not all features of the destination site may be available.)
