JSTOR platform change

On August 14, 2010, JSTOR plans on changing their search interface. JSTOR reports that the new interface will have a more streamlined look and feel. The new platform update offers new features in preparation for the Current Scholarship Program. Both historical scholarly content and the current journal issues will be available on a single, integrated platform and with a single interface starting in January of 2011. According to JSTOR, the transition will be seamless with no scheduled down time.
