Artstor Has Moved to JSTOR

A promotional image from JSTOR that says: Ready, set, redirect: Come August 1, 2024, Artstor URLs will automatically redirect to JSTOR. Next to the text is a black and white photo by Lee Friedlander.

On August 1 of this year, the legacy Artstor website was retired. All Artstor images are available on JSTOR, and our subscription to that material continues uninterrupted.

When you search JSTOR, you will find Artstor’s 2 million licensed images and more than 1,700 additional primary source collections alongside the JSTOR ebooks and journals you already know and love. With the new Workspace tool, you can save and organize Artstor images alongside other JSTOR content in one convenient workflow.

If you previously used Artstor, you’re invited to get started on JSTOR now!

Database Trial: South Asia Archive

In February and March, the library is trialing a new databases subscription to the South Asia Archive.

Note: you will not be able to save documents as PDFs during the trial.

New Database: Scopus

We are excited to announce that Reed Library has replaced Web of Science with Scopus

As of January 1, 2021, the Library’s subscription to Web of Science has ended and Scopus is our new replacement for comprehensive literature searching across disciplines and citation tracing. 

What is Scopus?

  • Scopus is a database for abstracts and citations of journal articles, books, and more.
  • You can search Scopus by title, author, institution, funder, and more.
  • Like Web of Science, Scopus has a cited reference search.
  • Coverage includes the Sciences, Social Sciences, and Humanities. 
  • There is a Scopus LibGuide that details searching, alerts, and other features.

Students, if you have been using Web of Science for an assignment or your thesis, contact your subject librarian if you need help transitioning to Scopus.

Faculty, if you, your class, or lab would like more training on Scopus please let your subject librarian know. We are also happy to help adjust assignments that used Web of Science previously and can help with new assignments as well.
