Announcing the JSTOR Ireland Collection

The Center for Irish Studies has underwritten a new and growing interdisciplinary collection related to Ireland.  The JSTOR Ireland Collection is now available, in addition to the other JSTOR collections we already provide (Arts & Sciences I, II, III, and IV collections, and Health & General Sciences).  All of our JSTOR collections can be searched or browsed simultaneously here.  A description and list of titles included (many of which are due to appear later in 2009) in the JSTOR Ireland Collection can be viewed, browsed, and searched here.  Henderson Library thanks the Center for Irish Studies for their support.

JSTOR specializes in older journal issues, and some collections include other materials such as pamphlets and manuscripts.  The most recently published journal issues (past 3-5 years) are not available in full text via JSTOR.  Please consult our Electronic Journals A-Z list (also linked from the library homepage) for a comprehensive search of our full-text electronic journals.
