Library Brings JSTOR™ to LBCC

Libraries worldwide are making a transition from print to digital collections of magazines and newspapers. JSTOR has emerged as the most stable and reliable archive of digitized scholarly content. Its many collecting categories contain pdf photographic images of each issue of each journal.

LBCC Library is pleased to introduce JSTOR’s Language and Literature Collection and its Arts & Sciences I Collection to the campus community. They feature a total of 119 journals in 21 subject disciplines:

* Core journals in economics, history, political science, and sociology, as well as in other key fields in the humanities and social sciences
* Titles in ecology, mathematics, and statistics
* A range of core journals in diverse fields of literary criticism selected with the help of the Modern Language Association and including PMLA
* Among the titles included are Political Science Quarterly, College English, American Literature, Journal of Black Studies, American Journal of Sociology, American Journal of Mathematics, and many others

To read more about the JSTOR archive visit www.JSTOR.org; to see the specific titles and years included in each collection connect to http://www.jstor.org/page/info/about/archives/collections.jsp
