JSTOR - emailing citations
Several of us have been having difficulty opening emailed JSTOR documents when off campus. Has anyone had success emailing JSTOR citations and opening the entire document off campus? I've followed the directions for emailing citations and can open the email and see the persistent/stable url, but when I try to open the document (off campus) I'm blocked from accessing the full text. I tried opening JSTOR in another window, thinking that might help, but it didn't work. If I'm on campus, I am able to open the document from the emailed citation. Any suggestions?

The URL's emailed through JSTOR and Project Muse are raw addresses that do not begin with ezproxy which gets us through the library's locked gate. You can not access JSTOR or Project Muse or quite a few other databases at home except through http://ezyproxy... etc... URL's. I've been advising students to save JSTOR articles to a flash drive. I guess this means they have to own a flash drive.
Eileen's summed it up pretty well. I'll be getting in touch with our EZproxy contact to see if there’s any work around for this kind of situation. Sorry there’s no quick fix. In the meantime, encourage folks to save to a disk or flash drive. Thanks, y’all!
