Locate Read Online and Download PDF links in the database

When you find an eBook in JSTOR, you can access it right in the eBook's detailed record page. JSTOR divides its eBooks into chapters, which you can view online or download in PDF format. Below a chapter that you want to access, click Read Online to view it online or Download PDF to download it.

Using the Read Online viewer

Clicking the 'Read Online' link for a chapter on the eBook's detailed record page allows you to view that chapter in your browser.

On the left there is basic information including permalinks and at the top is an option to download as a PDF.

Scrolling down on the left brings you to a Table of Contents if you want to jump to another chapter.

Using the Download PDF option

Clicking on the 'Download PDF' option for a chapter on the book's detailed record page or while viewing a chapter allows you to download that chapter instead of viewing it in your browser. This is useful if you want to be able to access the book while offline.

Click the link to accept the Terms and Conditions and the chapter will open in a PDF in your browser. Simply saving the PDF through your browser will download it.

If you are experiencing any difficulties accessing ProQuest eBooks, please contact a librarian.
