JSTOR Institutional Finder pilot program

We have signed up for JSTOR’s institutional finder pilot program. This will help our users access content we have access to, in an authenticated manner, even if they are not coming from our database page. This is how it works (from JSTOR):

1. A Baruch College user arrives on a JSTOR article page from a Google search or other referring page

2. An on-campus user will get automatic access to the full-text, but users outside of the Baruch College IP range will be denied access

3. When denied access to the full-text, the user is presented with some options for accessing JSTOR including a link to the JSTOR login page and the Institution Finder ( http://www.jstor.org/action/showLogin ).

4. From there they can search for their institution and follow a link to the Baruch College proxy login page

5. After logging in they are authenticated to JSTOR and will be automatically redirected to the original full-text article.

This should help with the many users who find JSTOR content on the web and then do not know how to get access to its content. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
