Online digital library JSTOR will begin offering free access to its catalogue of journals, papers, and books:

“The Register & Read program will now allow individuals to register for the service, but members will only be able to read three items every two weeks. Users won’t be able to see JSTOR’s whole library either: free accounts will only have access to 1,200 journals from 700 publishers. In exchanges for free access, users will have to enter their personal details at signup that will be shared with JSTOR along with its partners, giving them insight as to who’s reading specific material.”
