Alumni access to JSTOR
You may access the same rich set of JSTOR archival journal content available to students, faculty, and staff from anywhere in the world. Our license only provides alumni access for journal access, it does not allow JSTOR ebook access.
From off campus, visit https://jstor.reed.edu and log in to the Reed login prompt using your Kerberos credentials (the same login and password that you use for the online directory in IRIS). Please disable any proxy servers before accessing JSTOR.
If you have not yet set up a Kerberos account, visit https://account-tools.reed.edu/claim/. You will need your Reed ID number to get started; if you do not know this number, please contact Alumni Programs.

Troubleshooting access problems
I tried to access JSTOR from the Reed catalog but got a message "No Email Address on Record."
Enter JSTOR through https://jstor.reed.edu.
I can read articles but can't download PDFs. When I click the "I accept..." button, I end up in a never ending loop.
Click the "I accept..." button, then click in the URL bar and hit the enter key. (Do not hit the webpage reload button.) Then the PDF should load. This only has to be done once per session.
Every time I log in, I see a flicker of DUO authentication.
This is expected behavior. Reed now uses DUO authentication for faculty, students and staff. DUO does not apply to alumni, so the system moves past it and takes you to your login page.
JSTOR is saying I am not authorized to read an ebook.
Unfortunately we cannot help with this one. Reed College's license does not allow JSTOR book access for alumni, only journal content.
