Re: Are Journals in JSTOR Current Serials? Patricia Thompson 22 Aug 2007 22:11 UTC

We do. But only the current ones. Some are not current. There are
different collections within JSTOR and depending on which ones you
have subscribed to, you would have different numbers of titles. We
regard these as online subscriptions to individual journal titles.
Same with Project Muse.
