Jstor home page"If I want an article in JSTOR, what I do with them is I will trawl through on a search, I save the citations on the ones I want – I might look at one or two pages and think that – some of them I don’t even look at the pages, and take the citation – then I take the citation into EndNote and then, when I’ve got the link back, I can always go back down, look at that one and say, “Right, let’s pick that one up and have a look at it now” at my leisure. Trawling first, picking the citations, saving them into EndNote which drops the link straight EndNote for you – and just come back and pick it up.

Quote

"As far as I’m concerned, the whole basis of a historian is the amount of work which has been done which you can’t get your hands on. Journal articles, what people write, and you can’t afford all the magazines. But, when you see them all sitting there..."

- Michael
