Researchers in libraries with access to JSTOR collections can now link directly from more than 100,000 citations in many of EBSCO's secondary databases to the full text of articles available in the JSTOR archive.

This feature enhances the value of many secondary databases when they are searched via EBSCOhost^® including AGRICOLA, Applied Science & Technology Abstracts, EconLit, Humanities Abstracts, INSPEC^® and PsycINFO^® among others. With this function in place, EBSCO has completed implementation of its linking agreement with JSTOR, which allows links from both EBSCO's proprietary databases and secondary databases to many of the 242 titles available in JSTOR's archival collections.

The active links to JSTOR, in combination with the expanded full text backfiles available in selected EBSCO proprietary databases (with PDF coverage as far back as the 1920s for key journals), provide libraries with greater access to full text archival data than has ever been available before through EBSCOhost. Additionally, this feature represents another step accomplished in EBSCO's plan to provide the linking services necessary to facilitate a seamless, integrated research environment for end users.
