JSTOR has a number of separate collections and we subscribe to about half of them.  JSTOR is essentially collections of digitized back runs of journals although they are now branching out to include other types of resources such as books and primary documents.

Because this is a commercial database, access is limited to institutions that have paid subscriptions.  If you access JSTOR from the link on the Libraries' website (https://library.potsdam.edu/JSTOR) or from a computer on campus, you will be recognized or authenticated and connected to subsections of JSTOR that we subscribe to. If you go directly to JSTOR.org from an off-campus google search, you will not be recognized as a valid user and you will not be connected to the full-text resources.  

If you are using another database, the FindIt button will take you to the full-text in JSTOR if that journal content is part of our JSTOR collection.
