Many academics know about JSTOR, but how many know about JSTOR Daily? The stories there are an eclectic blend of research they’ve published and creative headlines sure to entice even the most dissertation-weary curiosity seeker.

U.S. Lieutenant Joseph “Ed” Carter who was imprisoned at Stalag Luft III, a German prisoner of war camp that mostly housed airmen, was able to keep a journal, a digitized version of which is available on JSTOR courtesy of Wake Forest University.
The journal falls somewhere between a collage, an art project, and a diary.

FYI any resident of #Massachusetts is entitled to a Boston Public Library e-card which gives you #JSTOR access. Reading a historical series and want to learn more about the period so I just downloaded some articles on topics mentioned in the #books #MA #BPL

A friend once advised: take a nonfiction book and look for the chapter that was the original paper before they put all the filler in and just read that. Since we always have trouble finding semi-academic nonfiction books to read I've started making my own by downloading JSTOR papers and having them printed and bound. Here's the contents of the latest one: #JSTOR #reading #books #AcademicPapers

what resources are out there for non-academics wanting to do some research nowadays? is it possible to borrow a jstor login? #jstor #research

Was trying out Microsoft's AI chat on Edge and it gave me an answer quoting an interview and attributing it to JSTOR rather than the original publication. So I was like, wait, you mine JSTOR? How much do you pay for it? I got a "I'd rather not pursue this conversation anymore" kind of reply... but now I'm thinking whether I can concoct a clever plan to ask it about things behind paywalls. #JSTOR #AI #Microsoft #AcademicPapers #Academia

Das heutige #Zeitzeichen des #WDR handelt vom Suizid des jungen Hackers Jonathan "JJ" James alias c0mrade am 18. Mai 2008.

Es ist hörenswert, obwohl es nicht frei ist von dem Geniekult, dem Journalist:innen so oft erliegen, wenn sie über Menschen berichten, die Computer verstehen. JJ hat mit 6 Jahren Computerspiele gespielt! Na und? Er konnte mit knapp 14 Jahren sein Betriebssystem "verändern"! Wenn es nicht in ROM gespeichert ist, warum auch nicht?

Constanze Kurz kommt oft zu Wort und sorgt für sachliche Richtigkeit. Aber ihr Vergleich mit Aaron Swartz hinkt, weil er keine privaten oder geheimen Dokumente runtergeladen hat, sondern wissenschaftliche Publikationen, die von der Allgemeinheit finanziert wurden und darum auch allen kostenlos zur Verfügung stehen sollten.

@openaccess bliss … if only #academic papers in Hebrew was so readily accessible. Even #jstor seem to have non-functioning auto-discoverable download links (last time I checked).

Cornell has a collection of "Postcards of female and male impersonators and cross-dressing in Europe and the United States, 1900-1930, 1955" up on #JSTOR, #OpenAccess. https://www.jstor.org/site/cornelluniversitylibrary/postcards-female-male-impersonators-cross-dressing-in-europe-united-states-1900-1930-1955/

Anstatt die Zeit im #Archiv mit den Quellen zu verbringen heute also #JSTOR-Recherche. 🙈 #Wissenschaft @academicchatter

"(Benevolent organizations) also held parades to mark all sorts of holidays and festivals, and for many other reasons, too... By the 1880s, parades were near-daily events in the city. For Black New Orleans communities in the Jim Crow era, they also became a form of protest, challenging segregation by openly marching through public streets all over the city."

Aaron Swartz died 10 years ago this month. Papers in the humanities continue to be inaccessible compared to STEM.

Had a line stuck in my head I couldn't remember from where. It was Karen Finely's *We Keep our Victims Ready,* a play subject to a Supreme Court case after the NEA revoked Finely's fellowship. Googling the line revealed no relevant search results, and I had to email a drama professor to re-learn the name of the play.

Aaron Swartz chiamato Il figlio di internet: Storia di Aaron Swartz - The Internet’s Own Boy.

Aaron Swartz era un bambino prodigio dell' #informatica: a lui si devono –almeno in parte– gli #RSS, il #CreativeCommons, la #OpenLibrary .org. Era un’attivista per l’accesso universale a Internet e soprattutto alla conoscenza, come ben spiegato nel Guerrilla #OpenAccess Manifesto di cui era coautore. Era un ragazzo di 26 anni che si è tolto la vita l’11 gennaio 2013 a causa dell’insostenibile pressione delle indagini e del processo che lo vedeva rispondere di 13 capi di accusa e affrontare il rischio di 35 anni di prigione e 1 milione di dollari di multa. Il misfatto? Aver scaricato un enorme quantità di paper accademici dal database #JSTOR.
