Students at Harvard and around the world searching for hard-to-find works by such literary luminaries as Arthur Miller, Joyce Carol Oates, and John H. Updike ’54 will not have to look farther than their computer screens anymore.
The Harvard Review, a literary journal published at Harvard under various names since 1986, announced Thursday that all of its back issues except those published within the past three years are now available on JSTOR, a digital archive of scholarly journals.
The Review, which is based in Houghton Library at Harvard, currently prints 2,000 to 2,500 copies of each semiannual issue, which is “fairly small for a literary journal,” according to Editor Christina A. Thompson.

Thompson called JSTOR, which according to its Web site is utilized by over 5,700 institutions worldwide, “the gold standard” of online research tools, and [Laura] Farwell Blake [nterim head of research services in Lamont Library] agreed that it is “one of the most widely used resources there is.”
