A JSTOR success guide for libraries

JSTOR recently released a new and improved Admin site for account administrators. Our new site features enhanced functionality designed to make your work easier.

You can find additional information about the new admin site in the JSTOR Administrator Accounts section of this guide.

To learn more about the new JSTOR Admin site, please use the registration link below to sign up for our webinar "Managing your Institution's JSTOR Access." You can also learn more about upcoming webinars and access past training sessions from our JSTOR Webinars page.

In this upcoming training session for the JSTOR Admin site you will learn about adding users to your school’s account, setting up access, updating your institution’s branding, creating and downloading usage reports, and more. Please note that all webinars are recorded with a link to the video emailed to all registrants. Even if you cannot attend the live session, we encourage you to sign up for immediate access to the recording.

Welcome to JSTOR!

This success guide brings together the key information you need to introduce JSTOR as an essential resource for your institution or organization.

The information in this guide is organized into three keys areas:

• Getting started: Review of access methods to ensure easy use of JSTOR from any location
• Orientation: Helpful tools for promoting use of JSTOR
• Education and training: Training and educational resources for the JSTOR digital library

Starting in 2021, images from Artstor collections are being added to JSTOR, and JSTOR platform features and functionality are evolving to support work with mulitples formats of research materials. With this new content, we are creating a more robust platform for discovering and working with both text and images.
