Linking to JSTOR

JSTOR is a full-text database of more than 659 academic and scholarly journals in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. Coverage begins with volume one of each title and usually continues usually to a moving wall end date of 3 to 5 years previous. Graphs, photographs, and other images are included.

A stable URL can be created to a particular article, volume, or issue in JSTOR. Anyone who uses a stable URL or durable link must have access to the database from which the URL came. Therefore, off campus users must be authenticated as part of MATC through EZproxy. Off campus users who click on a MATC Ezproxy stable URL will be prompted to enter their username and password.

Note: JSTOR made some changes to their interface in April 2008. Existing durable links should continue to work. Contact Donna Marconnet dmarconnet@matcmadison.edu (608) 243-4085 with any questions.

To create a JSTOR Stable URL at the article level:

1. Login to JSTOR and locate an article of interest.
2. Click on the Article Information link.
3. The Article Information page includes the Stable URL. Do not use the link from the browser address bar; Use the Stable URL listed in the the citation record.
4. To make sure links are also available for off-campus access through EZproxy: Select, copy and paste the entire Stable URL and use the MATC EZproxy URL Creator to append the EZproxy prefix http://ezproxy.matcmadison.edu/login?url= to the stable URL..
5. Paste the entire JSTOR Stable URL with the MATC EZproxy prefix added into your document, Blackboard, webpage, or email.
6. Test the link.
