Tutorials

One video tutorial is available under the Video Tutorial tab. You may find more tutorials by searching YouTube for “JSTOR." These tutorials, posted by other libraries, may contain some information that is library specific and not applicable to the MSJC Libraries.

JSTOR also provides tutorials. The tutorials "Advanced Searching in JSTOR" and "How to do Research in JSTOR" are especially helpful.
