If you’ve had a chance to use JSTOR today, you may have noticed something different. As of April 4, JSTOR has a new interface. The visual appearance is vastly improved, and the functionality enhanced by a number of new features:
MyJSTOR account – users can save citations to a personal account
Thumbnail images – easier to see articles at a glance and to select pages within articles.
Simplified printing and viewing of Article PDF Files
enhanced searching (by discipline, stored previous searches, truncation [the symbol is an ampersand & – ack! – why can’t we just have one consistent symbol …])
“Images in JSTOR” and “Images in ARTstor” tabs appear in the results from all search forms
A document describing features of the new platform is included in the JSTOR Sandbox
(sandbox.jstor.org), which also has links to tutorials and training materials. In addition, a list of newly scheduled webinars appears at the end of this announcement, with links to online registration.
