Problems logging in to JSTOR

P

Has anybody else had problems accessing articles from JSTOR. I can log into other sites using my institution log-in but JSTOR won't let me. It seems that they have done something to their interface (no idea what this means!) and from what I can tell from the techno jargon it's changed the way people can access stuff. It may be a case of checking with my own library but I just wondered if anyone had had problems.

I've just tried via my uni and went straight in without any problems... maybe your institution has changed their settings?

P

I'll check with them on Monday.

Hi Pamw, if there's anything you need to get urgently for work over the weekend, just request it and I'll see if I have access to it :-)

Thanks Walminskipeas, but I just found an article I though might be useful. There's no hurry but if I'm still having trouble I'll let you know.

Hi Pam, it happened to me when my Uni changed the log in system from Athens to Shibboleth (hope they are spelt right!). It took a while to get access to Jstor, and eventually the Help Desk of my UniLibrary gave me a new access code to use until the new system became accessible. Do ask your library to do the same or you may wait for a while.
