JSTOR announces Artstor to JSTOR Migration Timeline:
Hypothesis is a new tool that enables people to annotate and share documents and webpages. Its free browser extension is in use by a million people globally. It's an open community project. Learn more.
JSTOR has partnered with Google to support streamlined access for patrons that use both JSTOR and Google Scholar, through a free service called Campus Activated Subscriber Access (CASA). When a researcher visits Google Scholar while logged into the KU network, Google CASA remembers their affiliation and that they should have access to KU’s licensed resources. This information is stored in a secure token that is valid for 30 days.

The idea is to have one universal platform to host all content managed by ITHAKA, the non-profit organization that produces both ArtStor and JSTOR as well as other digital assets. The ArtStor platform will eventually be retired. Here's the new link to search only ArtStor on JSTOR: https://www.jstor.org/site/artstor/.
