1. You can create a 'MyJSTOR' account where you can store your citations. You'll also need to do this to save or email citations. It's instantaneous and very easy - you just need an email address and a username and password of your own choice. More personalised functionality is promised soon.
2. Various improvements have been made to searching, full details can be found under 'Information about the new JSTOR platform' on the JSTOR home page. One rather nice feature is the ability to add '&' to a word to retrieve both singular and plural forms, even of they are completely different words, eg. mouse& will find both mouse and mice.
Searching tip: there is now a basic search box on the home page. However, you get more options enabling you to do a more precise search as well as search help, if you click the Search button at the top of the screen
3. Downloading and printing PDFs of articles has been simplified
4. Results of a search now give you the option to retrieve images from JSTOR and/or ArtSTOR where your search terms are included in the captions of the images.
JSTOR can be accessed from OxLIP
