Did you know that Cal Maritime Library now provides access to scholarly ebooks on JSTOR? JSTOR’s “Evidence Based Acquisitions” (EBA) program is being made available to all CSU libraries for the next two years. The program start July 1, 2021 and runs through June 30, 2023, and we have the option to purchase permanent access to the books we need beyond those dates. This resource offers thousands of titles from leading publishers such as Princeton University Press, Yale University Press, and the University of California Press. The ebooks are easy to use and offer the following benefits:

  • Unlimited, DRM-free access: The ebook chapters have no limits on downloads or printing, and there’s no need to use special software or create a login. It’s just like using journals on JSTOR, ensuring a great user experience for you.
  • Integration with journals: The ebooks are available on JSTOR alongside more than 2,000 journals. When you search on JSTOR.org, you’re cross-searching the full text of all the resources the library provides through JSTOR. The ebooks and journals are also linked in ways that make research more efficient.
  • Easy to use in courses: If instructors would like to use the ebooks in a course, you can add the stable URL for a chapter or a full ebook to a syllabus. With on-campus and remote access available 24/7, and no limits on simultaneous use, the ebooks are always available to students.

The library will be closed Wednesday, June 19, 2024, in honor of Juneteenth.

June 19, 1865, two years after President Abraham Lincoln presented the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, slaves in confederate states finally received word that they were free. Freedom is a thread, and a fight, woven through this nation's history and current political climate. Continue to take action to celebrate and ensure true freedom for all through awareness of racial disparities, mobilization, and bold actions necessary to further the fight for social justice and equal opportunity.
