Our e-resources team have reported problems with UCL’s institutional login to JSTOR, which is causing problems for users. They are hoping  it won’t be long until it’s resolved.

The way around in the meantime is for people to either access JSTOR whilst connected to Desktop@UCLAnywhere

(https://storefront.desktop.ucl.ac.uk/Citrix/StoreWeb/) as this replicates on-campus access

Or to use the JSTOR link on the databases list (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/Library/database/index.shtml) as they’ll be directed to the UCL Single Sign on screen and be authenticated in that way.
