New feature of blog

Introducing Snap Shots from Snap.com
I just installed a nice little tool on this site called Snap Shots that enhances links with visual previews of the destination site, interactive excerpts of Wikipedia articles, MySpace profiles, IMDb profiles and Amazon products, display inline videos, RSS, MP3s, photos, stock charts and more.
Sometimes Snap Shots bring you the information you need, without your having to leave the site, while other times it lets you "look ahead," before deciding if you want to follow a link or not.

Should you decide this is not for you, just click the Options icon in the upper right corner of the Snap Shot and click on opt-out.

New interface for JSTOR

JSTOR has recently revamped their interface, added new features and updated existing ones.

New features:
MyJSTOR

"MyJSTOR" is the first step in providing greater personal customization for users throughout the site. With this first release, users can:

• manage citations over time by saving them to a MyJSTOR account, where they can be stored indefinitely.
• Users will need to create an account in order to save or send citations, as well as to save them to bibliographic software. Remember this if you use RefWorks
• accept JSTOR's Terms and Conditions of Use once, rather than being prompted to respond with each article print or download

Searching JSTOR

Basic Search

Basic searches, which search the full-text of all journals, can be entered directly from the home page by authorized users. Basic searches can be limited by discipline.

Advanced Search

Searches can be limited by selecting discipline(s) or specific journal titles, or by directly entering a specific title into the form. Proximity search is now available in the Advanced Search form, using NEAR 5, NEAR 10, NEAR 25 operators in the Boolean pull-down menus.

Basic and Advanced Searches

Searches from an individual session are saved, and they can be rerun from a drop down menu at the bottom of each of these search forms. Users are able to search for both the singular and plural versions of a word by adding an ampersand (&) to the end of the singular form of the word. Plurals now identify both regular (cat/cats) and irregular (knife/knives) plural forms. Users have the option to apply stemming to their search by appending the "#" character at the end of their search term, e.g., "operate#". The "Images in JSTOR" and "Images in ARTstor" tabs appear in the results from all search forms.
Search Results

The "search within these results" feature allows users to run a new search that restricts the content being searched to the results of their most recent search. See: Searching Help

Article Page Viewing

Thumbnail images of articles make it easier to see articles at a glance and to select pages within articles.

Simplified Printing and Viewing of Article PDF Files

JSTOR now offers articles in a single, improved format of PDF for printing. The PDF versions of articles provide bookmarks for easier navigation, both throughout the article as well as the entire issue. NOTE: JPRINT, the printing application created specifically for printing JSTOR files, is no longer available or supported. See: Printing Help
