Evaluation of a Web Resource: Jstor.org

JSTOR.org is a free website that supplies academic resources to students and scholars. It's a great tool and easier to use than let's say a library, because you just need to plug into a search bar what you are looking for, and it will provide many essays and articles. They claim to currently have 1866 titles to choose from. It's incredibly easy to use, I've used it for many research papers and it has always served me well. One can also log in and save citations that one wants to use under his/her username.

Those were three links from jstor that give me three interesting articles on media and communication. Also what's great about jstor is it has all the citation information needed to properly cite the works you use.
