With participation and support from the international scholarly community, JSTOR has created a high-quality, interdisciplinary archive of scholarship and continues to greatly expand access to scholarly works and other materials needed for research and teaching globally.

The Department of the Interior Library's JSTOR subscription currently includes access to their Life Sciences Collection (which is a compilation of their Ecology & Botany, Biological Sciences, and Health and General Sciences collections), the Arts & Sciences II collection, and the Arts & Sciences Complement collection.

Life Sciences Collection

The Life Sciences Collection is JSTOR's largest collection, with over 5.5 million pages available today and scheduled to grow to more than 7 million.

In the Life Sciences Collection, researchers can trace the origins of many scientific sub-disciplines through more than 25 journals that commenced publication over one hundred years ago. Through the multidisciplinary Proceedings and Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Science, Science News, and BioScience, the collection features scholarship and news from across the sciences. The collection also includes a number of the most highly cited journals in the fields of biology, botany & plant sciences, ecology & evolutionary biology, immunology, ornithology, and zoology.

The Life Sciences Collection includes all the titles available in the Ecology & Botany, Biological Sciences, and Health & General Sciences collections.
