JSTOR Access Change 2021

In January 2021 JSTOR changed the method of access to their website for NIFHS members.  Previously, members needed a personal JSTOR username and password to log in to JSTOR.  That method has been discontinued. The details below set out the new access method which needs the NIFHS username and password notified annually to members.

How do I gain access to JSTOR?

Members use the Login Username and Password given for access to the Members Content area of our website.
Look for these details in the most recent of these items –

  • the Welcome Letter email
  • the Renewal Acknowledgement email
  • the annual email giving updated login details.
