The UK Mirror site of the JSTOR® electronic journal collection is now
available at:
http://www.jstor.ac.uk
JSTOR is a unique digital archive collection of core scholarly
journals starting with the very first issues, and made available
to participating institutions via the World Wide Web. The
collection covers material from the 1880s up to a ‘moving wall’
of between 2 and 5 years; which guarantees the user a
stable collection of past issues. By the year 2000, a minimum of
100 journals in a variety of fields will be accessible and there
are currently some 2 million pages from over 40 titles.
Details of how to subscribe will be sent to the CHEST site

demonstration database and the background to JSTOR are also
available at the UK Mirror site. Manchester Information Datasets
and Associated Services is maintaining the JSTOR UK Mirror site
for the UK Higher Education community on behalf of the
Joint Information Systems Committee, and in collaboration
with University College London. Questions regarding the service
