Chris Merkord Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I've seen news stories in various places over the last few days talking about JSTOR's new Register and Read program. Here are some of the articles I've run across: JSTOR unbars the door on academic journals, offers free limited access (ZDNET, January 11, 2013) JSTOR Extends Free Access - But Not Much (iProgrammer, Janaury 14, 2013) Many JSTOR Journal Archives Now Free to Public (Library Journal, January 9, 2013) Basically, the new program lets anyone sign up for access to view up to 3 articles online every 2 weeks. You can view online but you can't download PDFs. It's not much, but its better than nothing. Of course you have to provide some personal details when you register, which I suspect are to be sold to JSTOR's partners for advertising purposes, although I don't know that for sure.Journals of interest to ornithologists in the list of available titles include (in no particular order): Journal of Avian Biology Wilson Journal of Ornithology Journal of Field Ornithology Waterbirds Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery Avian Diseases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
