JSTOR Access in Prison: Adding a reviewer to a facility

  • Updated

On this page:

Adding a reviewer for a facility is a two part process:

  • First, an admin adds the reviewer to the facility and selects their permissions. 
  • Then, the reviewer registers for their own JSTOR account using the same email address provided to the admin.

Part 1 (Admin): Adding a reviewer to a facility

  1. Log into admin.pep.jstor.org with a personal JSTOR account with administrator permissions for your facility.
  2. Open the Support drop-down menu and select Account.
    Support drop-down menu
  3. Under Account Management, select the Users tab. Here you can add, remove, and edit user management for your facility.
  4. To add a new user, select the Add User button.
    Add User button in Account Management
  5. In the Add Users menu, enter the user’s name and email address.
  6. If you manage more than one group, choose which groups this person should have access to in the Groups drop-down menu.

  7. Choose what features the user will have access to. You can modify these options at any time.
    • For a reviewer, we suggest including all options under Media Review and Search Results. This will allow the reviewer to do all media review actions, including bulk approval.

    • For a reviewer to solely approve and deny access to requested content, select Approve Requests and Deny Requests under Media Review.

    • For an administrator, we suggest you enable all features. You can do this by selecting the Select all checkbox.

  8. Once you’ve finished your selections, click Submit to save your changes.

You may now contact the new user to complete the next step: setting up their account. They’ll need to create an account before they can log in and access the interface.

Part 2 (Reviewer): Registering for a JSTOR account

After an admin has completed the steps in Part 1, the reviewer can register for a free personal JSTOR account at jstor.org/register.

  1. Under Email address, make sure to provide the same email address that your admin used in Part 1.

  2. Select Create account. A verification email will be sent to that address. Follow the link to verify your email and complete your account registration.
    • The verification link in the email will expire after 15 minutes; however, following the link after it has expired will send a new link automatically.
  3. Complete your registration by creating a strong password. Passwords must:
    • Contain at least one (1) upper or lowercase character.
    • Contain at least one (1) number or special character.
    • Be a minimum of six (6) characters in length (72 max).
    • No spaces or whitespace are permitted.
  4. Select Create account to finish creating your account.
    • You may see an option to select a Role, but this information is optional.

Once you’ve finished registering, you can now visit admin.pep.jstor.org and log in using your new account credentials.

Troubleshooting

When logging in, if the reviewer sees the message "the username or email address you entered is not recognized": 

  • Make sure the reviewer has been added to your facility by an admin as described in Part 1.
  • Ensure the reviewer’s email address has been typed correctly and matches the email address provided in Part 1.
