JSTOR
JSTOR (a registered trademark of ITHAKA) is a non-profit-making digital library with a mission to expand access to scholarly knowledge and preserve it for future generations.

Usually, when you follow a link to an article held in its database (eg if you found the article via Google or another search engine) you will get only a preview of the first page, or a view of the abstract from a paper. You’ll also see a message that says:
“You are not currently logged in through a participating institution or individual account. See the login page for more information.”
Log-in permission to access full articles requires you to be registered via an affiliated academic institution (which will have paid a subscription fee), but in March 2012, JSTOR launched the “Register & Read” initiative as an experiment. This is intended to allow individuals who are not affiliated to participating institutions to access some of the content (generally articles from a period 3-5 years ago). By registering as an individual, you can view this subset of articles in full, although not copy or download them.
- Articles which you wish to read can be added to your virtual “bookshelf”
- You can have up to three items on your shelf at one time.
- Each item must remain on your shelf for 14 days.
- After 14 days, you can remove that item and add another.
