The problems experienced with this last week have now been solved. You can now access JSTOR remotely using either an Athens password if you have one or your Single Sign On/Oxford username (or of course using the VPN).
This applies to Oxford University card holders only

Useful websites
Here are a couple of websites that I've come across recently that may be of interest.
1. Eufeeds gives access to current stories from over 300 newspapers across the EU. There is a page for each EU country; the UK page lists 19 national and regional papers together with the Spectator and Guardian. You can also click through to the home page of each publication.
2.Planet eBook provides free access to electronic copies of classics. Currently quite an isoteric collection of 40 titles ranging from the Iliad to the Merry Adventures of Robin Hood! However, it's a growing collection and you can suggest titles you would like to see included.
