Unfortunately, one can only access JSTOR if one is physically present inside the Library of Virginia building.  The annual licensing cost to offer access to the database remotely is far beyond what the Library's budget can afford.  If the cost ever comes down, we would love to be able to offer this and other databases remotely to LVA card holders, but given the current economic environment, it's unlikely that we'll be able to do this anytime soon.

Can one with an LVA library card access JSTOR through the LVA web 
site from a home computer?  If so, how does one do this?
