Authen­ti­cated schol­ars and researchers with online access to full-text con­tent in JSTOR can now locate and con­nect to arti­cles through WorldCat.org. JSTOR is a preser­va­tion archive and research plat­form for the aca­d­e­mic community.

Over 4.5 mil­lion JSTOR article-level records from more than 1,000 jour­nals, selected mono­graphs, and other schol­arly con­tent are now indexed in WorldCat.org, the Web des­ti­na­tion for dis­cov­ery of mate­ri­als in libraries world­wide. JSTOR records are deliv­ered in WorldCat.org search results. Schol­ars and researchers using WorldCat.org can now iden­tify con­tent in JSTOR and con­nect to the full-text using the autho­ri­sa­tion pro­vided by their library.

WorldCat.org is a Web des­ti­na­tion with search and social net­work­ing fea­tures that allow infor­ma­tion seek­ers to dis­cover, localise, and per­son­alise con­tent from local col­lec­tions and those of more than 10,000 World­Cat libraries world­wide. WorldCat.org index­ing of JSTOR meta­data helps researchers eas­ily iden­tify resources in the col­lec­tion along­side other mate­ri­als rel­e­vant to their work. An autho­riza­tion is required for access to full-text mate­ri­als in JSTOR.

World­Cat claims to be the world’s largest data­base of bib­li­o­graphic infor­ma­tion built con­tin­u­ously by libraries around the world since 1971. Each record in the World­Cat data­base con­tains a bib­li­o­graphic descrip­tion of a sin­gle item or work and a list of insti­tu­tions that hold the item. The insti­tu­tions share these records, using them to cre­ate local cat­a­logs, arrange inter­li­brary loans and con­duct ref­er­ence work. There are now more than 165 mil­lion records in World­Cat span­ning five mil­len­nia of recorded knowl­edge. Like the knowl­edge it describes, World­Cat grows steadily. Every sec­ond, OCLC and its mem­ber libraries add seven records to WorldCat.”
