About EISZ

EISZ supports higher education and research with a national license agreement for databases that eligible institutions can subscribe to and access. EISZ helps publishers and distributors present new products and services, and they organize courses to help users utilize these databases to their full potential.

About JSTOR

JSTOR is a digital library for the intellectually curious. As a mission-driven not-for-profit, we partner with libraries, museums, and publishers to reduce costs, extend access, and preserve scholarship for the future. We are committed to providing affordable fees that fit many different communities and institution types, and we have never raised our fees since we launched in 1996.

JSTOR brings together journals, books, images, and primary sources on a platform with innovative tools for teaching and research. By combining scholarship and primary sources in the same environment, JSTOR strengthens the depth and quality of research, inspires innovative connections, and generates unexpected discoveries.

JSTOR resources available to EISZ members

  • JSTOR archival journal collections: Our high-quality, curated journal collections provide full-run coverage and long-term preservation. These collections include the full-text articles of more than 2,600 academic journals that span more than 50 disciplines. The collections are designed to offer institutions the flexibility of choosing the materials most appropriate for their needs. Collection descriptions, full titles lists, and discipline strengths are available on our website.
  • Artstor is the most extensive image resource for educational and scholarly use. Artstor’s images are also now discoverable on JSTOR; users at institutions that subscribe to both services can work with more than 2.5 million photographs, artworks, architectural plans, and other visuals–all rights-cleared for education and research. An additional 760,000 images are also freely accessible to everyone.
  • Request trial access: EISZ institutions that do not currently participate in JSTOR or Artstor can sign up for free trial access to aid your evaluation—simply submit your request here.
  • Open and free content: As part of our mission to improve access to knowledge and education, we are complementing the scholarship you know and rely on with a rapidly growing array of openly available journals, books, research reports, images, and primary sources from collections around the world.

Options for different EISZ institution types

We offer tiered fees and flexible purchasing options for libraries and organizations. We adjust our fees based on your institution’s size, type, and country.
