BPL eCard & JSTOR Instructions

JSTOR DATABASE

JSTOR offers digitized back issues of academic journals. This database–and many others–are provided by the Boston Public Library (BPL).

If you DO NOT have a BPL eCard or a physical BPL card, then sign up for a BPL eCard. Check your email for the eCard number–and remember your PIN. Then follow the directions below.

If you have a BPL eCard or a physical BPL card, then:

    • Go to BPL's A-Z Online Resources, then click JSTOR (or any other database you want to access).

    • Enter your BPL eCard number and PIN. (Or, if you have a physical BPL card, use that account info.)
