Nytt grensensitt for JSTORE

The interface has been updated with a new look, and more tools and capabilities for users have been integrated into the system. The new platform will also provide a more flexible foundation for future development, allowing us to add features and a greater array of scholarly content.

The new platform will replace the current JSTOR site. We currently anticipate a launch in mid-March. In preparation, we invite you to explore a preview of the new site.

The preview can be accessed by going to the JSTOR sandbox at http://sandbox.jstor.org.

PDFs in Learning Management Systems

Elsevier (ScienceDirect-avtalen)

According to your current ScienceDirect license this is not allowed, as can be derived from the below two clauses. Links can be incorporated in an LMS system but not the content itself.

The Subscriber and its Authorized Users may:

(1.3.3) incorporate links to Excerpts on the Subscriber's intranet and internet websites, provided that the appearance of such links and/or statements accompanying such links shall be changed as reasonably requested by the Licensor; and

(1.3.5) incorporate links to Excerpts in electronic coursepacks, reserves and course management systems for use in connection with courses offered by the Subscriber for academic credit, provided that the Subscriber obtains the prior written consent of the Licensor for use in connection with any non-credit courses.

It appears to me that creating an appropriate remote user set-up is what is really needed here:
At the moment, the best way to acquire remote access to ScienceDirect and Scopus is with a remote username and password.
1. An administrator of the account, or a librarian, is welcome to send us (e-helpdesk) a request for a number of registration IDs. E-helpdesk generates a list of them and sends it, including the instructions on how to activate them, to the librarian. Librarian can distribute the registration IDs to students. Students activate their IDs and in the process create their own user profile, with a username and password. That username and password will give a student access to ScienceDirect and/or Scopus, depending on their institutional subscriptions, from any internet location.

2. The users who have already registered within the IP address range of a given institution have at the moment a username which is IP profiled. And administrator of the account, or a librarian, can look up their username via AdminTool and make it remote. This username will likewise enable them to access their institutional subscriptions from any internet location.

JSTOR

Incorporating PDFs into course packs or study packs is not allowed under the JSTOR Terms and Conditions of Use (refer to http://www.jstor.org/about/terms.html).

An alternative to distributing or incorporating articles as PDFs into course packs and study packs is to refer students to the articles in JSTOR by using a stable URL. We ask that you direct the students to the article(s) by establishing links to the JSTOR database on a course web-site, or by otherwise communicating the citation information to students and informing them that the material is available in JSTOR.

All articles in the JSTOR Archive have a stable URL that can be found in the Browse and Search interfaces as well as the Article Information page for each article. Further information on establishing stable links to material in JSTOR may be obtained from User Support at support@jstor.org.

JSTOR endringer

Revised search forms: The Advanced Search form will now include four new fields for entering and combining full text, author, article title, abstract, and caption field search queries. Also navigation options and help files for the Basic Search and Article Locator forms have been updated, and the Expert Search form has been removed.

Linking Enhancements: New linking functionality in the JSTOR website is now visible on article view and article information pages. In addition to already-existing links to articles in JSTOR that are referenced within a given article (“reference linking”), information about other articles in JSTOR that in-turn cite a given article (“forward linking”) will now be displayed. Also displayed will be links to articles by authors with the same name as the authors of the article. To further aid in resource discovery, we will also provide “forward linking” via Google Scholar which will enable users to see if an article has been cited by others in articles not necessarily present in JSTOR. Retrospective capture of linking data is still underway for archived content in JSTOR, so the number and availability of these linking options will continue to grow over the next several months. The retrospective portion of this work is expected to be completed by the end of 2007.
