JSTOR
JSTOR is an online collection of full-text articles from a multidisciplinary selection of scholarly journals. It is one of the best e-resources we can recommend for Hawaiʻi and Pacific research. One of its strengths is its backfile of articles, which goes back farther than most journal indexes. UHM Library subscribes to the following JSTOR collections:
   - Arts & Sciences I (http://micro189.lib3.hawaii.edu/ezproxy/details.php?dbId=1354)
   - Biological Sciences (http://micro189.lib3.hawaii.edu/ezproxy/details.php?dbId=38156)

   - Mathematics & Statistics (http://micro189.lib3.hawaii.edu/ezproxy/details.php?dbId=1354)
