• JSTOR is an online database of books, journals, photos, primary sources and all kinds of scholarly (fancy word for credible) sources that you can use for many papers your teachers assign. To put it in simple terms, it is the opposite of Wikipedia. It is an online library you can use both at school and at home. Just log in with the username and password above. 

• JSTOR has an easy to use citation tool for correctly citing (giving credit) for your sources.

• JSTOR is available in most higher level secondary schools and college libraries.
