JSTOR, new database

We now have this great academic resource. I have seen JSTOR articles in my Google search results so I am mightily pleased that we now offer it.
Cool stuff too - old science journals from 1675 and more. Facsimile fulltext.

Here are a few interesting tidbits:
How Can the North Polar Region Be Crossed?: Discussion
from The Geographical Journal, 1893

American Journal of Nursing 1900-2000
What We May Expect from the Law
The American Journal of Nursing, 1900

Child Development 1930-2002
An Experimental Study of Curiosity in Children
Child Development, 1964

Not just older material - and another cool feature - citation information for each article. Links to articles that cited that article. For example, a 1970 article cites the article on curiosity.

Invaluable for students. And for the merely curious!
