JSTOR This link opens in a new window
JSTOR is a database with many full-text articles in a variety of subject areas taught at UD. It can be especially helpful for literature, philosophy, history, and religion but for other subject areas as well. However, all JSTOR articles are at least three years old, and often older, so it is not the best place to find the most current research. JSTOR is provided by the Cowan-Blakley Memorial Library through operating funds provided by the University of Dallas.
