JSTOR Update Procedure
|
JSTOR is an aggregator of the backfiles of journals. Each journal has a
"moving wall," meaning that issues outside of the "moving wall" are not a
part of the database. The "moving wall" does just that, it moves. Every year
in January the issues and volumes, which are a part of JSTOR change. This
procedure is the Kresge Library's procedure by which the holdings are updated
on the JSTOR records, which reside in the WEBPac.
- Open the WEBPac.
- Open the Cataloging module.
- Search the journal title in the WEBPac.
- Search the journal title in the Cataloging module.
- In the WEBPac, click on the journal's URL to verify it still works.
- Compare the holdings on the journal's home page to the journal's holdings in Voyager.
- Correct any non-working URLs.
- Update the journal's holdings by adding any necessary volumes and years.
- Update the journal's holdings by deleting any necessary volumes and years.
