In the last week alone I think I've seen at least two or three posts here asking if anyone has JSTOR this and JSTOR that. Every time I try to look something up the first page is dangled in front of me like a teasing carrot on a stick which I can't access yet, without a private subscription :evil:
It costs money so I'd be more than willing to contribute, but I think there are hurdles.
Should we discuss whether RAT can get an account?

Hi Jim,
I believe we discussed this before, for a short while. I'd certainly be willing to try, but it is expensive. It's a litter better when you're an accredited educational institution, but still bad. We could try and ask them what it would cost to get access to only the Classical journals perhaps?

We did discuss it, yup. Thought I'd field it here as a specific thread to see what the response was. My main concern is the time it takes for someone to sort these things out.
Specifying only the Classical journals is a good idea.

Well since I for one would love to contribute in something like that. How would it work, any ideas?

No idea how it would work to be honest.
But when you see something like this (you need to copy and paste)....

I too would be interested - very frustrating trying to get access to decent research material out here in Dubai!

If it turns out to be too expensive or just not possible to get JSTOR access for the site, would an alternative be for those of us who have access to band together and help others get specific articles?
Just a thought.

Well, I would be hesitant in saying yes. For one, you would be violating the terms of use, and I'm not sure JSTOR would be happy with RAT if we became an exchange area for their stuff.

Ah! I was unaware of that. One of the unfortunate things about getting JSTOR through an institution is that you never view the conditions of use.
