Update (09/07/10): JSTOR has undergone a major platform change and has a new look, see JSTOR Platform Highlights for more information. Also, if you are looking for a list of FAU Libraries’ subscription databases, go directly to Indexes/Databases.
Start your research with JSTOR
JSTOR offers a high-quality, interdisciplinary digital archive to support scholarship and teaching. FAU has JSTOR access to almost one thousand leading academic journals across the humanities, social sciences, and sciences, and other materials valuable for academic work. The entire database is full-text searchable, offers search term highlighting, includes high-quality images (including search results from ArtStor), and is interlinked by millions of citations and references.
Journals are always included from volume 1, issue 1 and include previous and related titles, but the most recently published issues (past 3-5 years) are not generally available. However, several publishers provide links to the recent content on their own website, and you can include these article citations in your JSTOR search by checking the “Search for links to articles outside of JSTOR.” If FAU has access to these articles, you can click the “Find it at FAU” button to access the full text.
Really impressed with the new enhancements and features, they Rock.
Sign into EZProxy (http://ezproxy.fau.edu/) and you can get access to the journals FAU subscribes to from off campus, you must be affiliated with FAU. You can get access on campus without logging in. Note, that if you deselect the box “Include only content I can access,” you may get results to journals that we do not have via JSTOR, you can look for the journals in our catalog or the ejournals list. You can use Interlibrary Loan to order the articles for free. Call the Reference Desk at 561-297-3785 if you need help.

Is there a legal way to get access for “normal” people?
