JSTOR Platform Update Special note to JSTOR users:

JSTOR Update | June 18, 2008

Platform Update

A JSTOR platform update was completed today. This update includes several bug fixes:

The "Page of First Match" feature is restored. With this fix, selecting the "Page of First Match" link now takes you to the first page upon which a search term appears, rather than the first page of the article. The ability to jump to search term locations by page is restored. You will now see the "View list of pages with search term(s)" option at the top of each article page, and then may follow a link to each page that contains one or more of their search terms. Thumbnail images on the "Images in JSTOR" tab are restored. Several bugs with searching author names, phrase searching, wildcard searching, and fuzzy searching are corrected.
Citations are now numbered on the Export Citations and Email Citations pages.

Please note that an error that causes difficulties with the Adobe Reader Find and Search functionality in downloaded PDFs is not fixed at this time. This fix was originally scheduled for this release but needed to be withdrawn for further development. We are actively working on this issue and plan to release this fix as soon as possible.JSTOR will continue to perform regular updates during the course of 2008. We thank you for your feedback thus far, and encourage you to send us your comments and suggestions for improvements. Please contact JSTOR User Support at support@jstor.org to let us know what is important to you.
