How do I access JSTOR as a high school student?
Most high schools offer two ways to access: on campus or off campus. High schools don’t usually use the Institution Finder for access to JSTOR, but there are some exceptions. If you know that your high school has a proxy, see Search the Institution Finder.

Option 1: Log in from your school or library's website
Many high schools offer access via a password-protected link on your school or library's website:
- Verify with your librarian that this is the way they've decided to provide access.
- If your school provides this login method, log in to your high school’s website.
- Find and click on the link to JSTOR and you will be automatically logged in.
If you've logged in successfully, you'll see Access provided by [Your High School Name] at the top of any page on JSTOR. If you don't see your school's name, talk to your librarian for more help.
Option 2: Log in with Microsoft or Google Single Sign-On (SSO)
If your school uses Google or Microsoft sign-in for your library or school website, then you may be able to access JSTOR with your school-affiliated Google or Microsoft account.
- Visit to JSTOR login page.
-
Choose Log in with Google or
Log in with Microsoft, depending on which type of
account
you have.
- You must log in with your school-affiliated email address. This is what allows JSTOR to recognize that you're a member of your school.

If your librarian has given you a username and password to log on to JSTOR directly:
