We add full catalog records for all JSTOR titles.  It is another point of access for our students and faculty.  JSTOR has become one of our most heavily used databases.

Subject: [SERIALST] JSTOR titles

 

Do you include JSTOR titles in your library catalog? There is a debate at our library regarding this practice. On one side, we own JSTOR titles so they should be in the catalog. The other side of the debate is that JSTOR titles are accessible through our JSTOR subscription, which functions more as a database, so they need not be in the catalog. What has your library decided on this issue?
