JSTOR (pronounced ; short for
Journal Storage) is a
digital library founded in 1995. Originally containing
digitized back issues of
academic journals, it now also includes books and primary sources, and current issues of journals. It provides
full text searches of almost 2,000 journals. More than 8,000 institutions in more than 160 countries have access to JSTOR; most access is by subscription, but some older
public domain content is freely available to anyone.
