African Access Initiative to Research Journals

JSTOR is a not–for–profit service that helps scholars, researchers, and students discover, use, and build upon a wide range of content in a trusted digital archive of over one thousand academic journals and other scholarly content. We use information technology and tools to increase productivity and facilitate new forms of scholarship.

Welcome.

I thought I post this e-mail from Nancy directly below, since it contains every link needed for institutions in Africa to access free literature. Please, kindly give feedback to AIDSfreeAFRICA if you use this free service. We would like to know if it is user friendly and useful for your students and researchers.   

Hi Rolande,


Yes, I remember meeting you and hope all is well with you and your efforts.
We are US based, but serve institutions globally, and we provide access to our database to institutions in Africa for free as part of our African Access Initiative (more info on this available).
You can look up participating institutions on our website at http://about.jstor.org/participate-jstor/participants . At present, over 540 institutions in Africa participate. If you know of any other institutions that may want to participate, please feel free to refer them to http://about.jstor.org/participate-jstor/libraries/african-access-initiative-0  or participation@jstor.org .
