Judith et al,

I posted this on lis-e-resources, but there is a short-term work-around that may help a little bit.  I’ve seen no firm release dates for the fixes on JSTOR’s end, you never know though, they might have it fixed by Monday.  

If you change your link to JSTOR to the following it will exclude external content and limit results to what your users can access (which is the best we can hope for right now).  It does take people to the advanced search screen, but that’s the only place I was able to set the limits.  Of course, it will do nothing to help folks who go to JSTOR from other links outside your website.

I hope this helps.

Cheers.

Subject: [SERIALST] JSTOR article sales

According to http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2010/08/26/jstor
JSTOR has agreed to suppress from search results articles that require additional payment to view in full, at least until they offer Open URL linking.
 
Has anyone seen a date for this? If they get it done before Monday, I don’t have anything to worry about. After that, the complaints will start rolling in.
 
Thanks,
Judith
