JSTOR is a database/digital library that holds and provides access to a variety of scholarly research.

Tips on using JSTOR 1. JSTOR holds scholarly research articles that are written for professors, graduate level researchers, and academic scholars. Titles do not always clearly reflect the information provided within and thus will require some digging on your part.
2. Go directly to the Advanced Search feature. This will allow you to search multiple terms more easily and filter the types of sources you want.
3. Make sure to click on "Content I can access." Under our subscription model, Prep does NOT have access to all of JSTOR's holdings.
4. After clicking on an article, DON'T immediately start reading it. Instead first check out side information provided such as, "abstract" and "search matches' to see if it contains information that would be helpful for you.
