Off-Campus JSTOR Access Restored

Please alert library faculty or staff if you encounter any difficulty logging in.

Off-Campus Access Suspended

JSTOR, the vendor for several of our full-text journal databases, has detected abuse in the form of thousands of pages of downloading and/or printing from the AMERICAN ECONOMIC REVIEW and JOURNAL OF BUSINESS. It appears that the downloading has been through the use of robot software, which is not permitted by our license agreement with JSTOR. One of the abuses involved printing off entire runs of a journal, which is also not permitted.

Until we discover the source of the downloading (all we know is that it's off-campus use), JSTOR has suspended use of all of its journals from off-campus. Obviously, this is a serious problem for all students and faculty. We will not recover off-campus access until we know who has been downloading journals.

Any of the usage agreements for The Citadel's databases can be viewed from each database, often under Legal Notices or Privacy Policy. Problems occur when someone attempts to "copy" an entire journal run, either onto paper or onto a computer. If you think you might have accidentally downloaded large portions of AMERICAN ECONOMIC REVIEW and/or JOURNAL OF BUSINESS last week, or are unsure of a particular database's permitted uses, please email or call kirstin.steele@citadel.edu (953-5837).
