Hi,
The library of my University offers access to JSTOR. I've discovered it this last week and I spent yesterday evening on it. I've downloaded some articles to my pen-drive and I've read other ones I was interested in but when I came home, I was not able to access to JSTOR from my PC. I've an account but JSTOR says that I must be at a PC from my University to be able to use the service. Does anyone know if there is any way to use JSTOR from another PC? If not, it's really a pity.
Thanks,
Gonzalo

Re: JSTOR
You should contact your university to find out whether they have a way for university members to access library subscriptions off-campus. For example, the university I'm at has a VPN (virtual private network) system - something like a proxy, I guess - which allows you to access JSTOR, etc. I think other US universities have similar systems set up.
You will not be able to access all articles from JSTOR, in any case, only those journals for which your university has a subscription.

Re: JSTOR
JSTOR is a standard periodical subscription service (which I adore and use often, by the way). Someone does have to pay for it.
At the university I work for I can log into the local network via a VPN, at which point JSTOR is happy to talk to me again. I don't know where you are, but that may be a possibility.

Re: JSTOR
I have noticed such a VPN at https://www.upm.es/politecnica_virtual/ and I am going to try. Thanks for the help. I´ll tell if it works.
