How to download a list of everything you have access to
First, you'll want to be sure you're signed into your institution's JSTOR account. You'll need to be signed in via an affiliated IP address (i.e. on-campus, logged in via proxy, etc). Your institution's Provider Designation Statement (PDS) should appear on the very top of any JSTOR page.
Once you can see the correct PDS, use the links below to get your holdings:
Each link will allow you to download a tab-delimited TXT (.txt) file. This file will include all of your titles as well as their coverage dates, volume numbers, stable URL, discipline, collection inclusion and more.
You can download your holdings from JSTOR Admin as well. If you do not have an account with administrator privileges please contact us.
How to decipher your spreadsheet of holdings
JSTOR holdings lists are created according to KBART-recommended practices (see KBART Phase II Recommended Practice [PDF]) and delivered as tab-delimited TXT (.txt) files. To view these files in a spreadsheet program like Excel, right-click the downloaded file and select "Open with".
