ACCESS FOR ALUMNI

The Alumni Access program is an important step in our ongoing efforts to extend access to scholarship to individuals around the world. Alumni from participating higher education institutions gain full access to the same set of archive collection content available to current students and faculty at their alma mater.
 
See a list of the institutions in the program.

We work with more than 100 publishers helping them to provide access to the complete contents of their journals on JSTOR directly to individuals, some as a benefit of society membership and some for a fee.  In addition, approximately 850 journals also have single articles for sale through JSTOR.
