E-Resources: What Could Be Better? | Not Dead Yet

When I recently did my annual Best New Reference Databases list (it’ll be in the March 1 issue of LJ) I included one outstanding new re-release: the August 2012 update of JSTOR from ITHAKA. I reviewed the file in the 11/1/12 LJ, and was so impressed by the new main search page, along with the ease of searching, finding, and manipulating records. ITHAKA deserves credit for making the file so much better, rather than resting on its laurels and the ubiquity JSTOR enjoys among researchers.
