Spotlight on JSTOR!

This week GCH Library would like to highlight another of our brilliant online resources.

As some of our sixth formers will already know, all GCH students have the privilege of free online access to JSTOR. 

JSTOR is a great digital library or primary sources, academic articles and books. Used by universities everywhere, it is one of the most trusted research platforms and is an excellent resource for students looking for secondary sources for their coursework!

JSTOR can be accessed here via the Library App.

1. To access JSTOR, and many other useful online resources, log on to the Library App using your usual computer login details. 

2. Then type in the search bar the topic you are looking to learn more about. As June is Pride Month in the UK, we have used 'LGBT History' as an example. 

3. Click on the dark grey drop down bar labelled 'One Search' on the left side of the screen and select 'JSTOR login'.

4. Follow the instructions on screen. These will tell you to open the link to JSTOR and then close it. 

You will then be able to open your search results for what you were looking for - in this instance 'LGBT History'! Using the setting in the left hand corner, you can then refine your results by subject, date and the type of source you want. 

Please contact us at the library if you have any difficulties accessing our resources.

Happy researching!
