Using JSTOR Through Off-Campus Access

 

Students not using either a campus computer or a Gator Link connection may be unable to access the weekly readings through the links on the course homepage.  Students with remote access connections should follow the steps below to retrieve the articles.  Remember: it is the student’s responsibility to access these articles before the due date.  Problems retrieving the articles should be brought to the instructor’s attention at least 48 hours before the due date.  Most troubleshooting concerns can also be solved by contacting Library Services. 

 

 

 

1.  Go to http://web.uflib.ufl.edu/

2.  On this page, look at the third column from the left labeled "Services"

3.  The fourth link down on the column will be called "Off-Campus Access".  Click that link.

4.  This should bring you to a page with a big yellow button on the left hand side labeled "Logon Now".  Click that link.

5.  Log on with either your library number or your password and user name.

6. ***From this point on, you must get to the article by clicking weblinks only***

7. From the "successful logon" page, click a link near the top marked "UF Libraries Homepage"

8.  (You are now back where you started, but now you have a proxy connection so you can use some of the utilities.)  Look under the second column from the left, and click the link marked "Databases & Resources".

9.  Do a "Quick Search" for "jstor"

10. Click "Connect Now"

11.  You are now on the JSTOR homepage.  Click "Search" next to the eye icon.

12.  You will have to enter several things to produce an accurate search here:

 

a)       I like to search by "author", but you can search by "title" too.  Use the pull down menu on your right to choose one of these search criteria, then type in either the author or article title in the blank field (make sure spelling is correct)

 

b)       Scroll down and choose to search in "History" and “History of Science” journals by clicking the appropriate boxes

 

c)       The last field should already be filled in for you -- you are searching for "articles"

 

d)       You can now Click "search"
