I don't know if this is the right forum for this, but I wanted to thank you for making these documents available. I've just downloaded an article from 1954 from a rather obscure journal. I am a fifth-year graduate student, and your service has just saved me from making a two-hour round trip to the University library. This isn't the first time I have used your service to locate random articles, either.

I don't know what your days are like, but you have made mine on several occasions! Thank you for making this available. You may not hear it, but it is appreciated!

The work of your organization is so integral to research here at the Institute. We could not function without JSTOR at this point. I do hope that your current initiatives help you to reach other small research institutions that could benefit from your approach to archiving.

Just a simple note to convey my gratitude for your service. When one is a single working parent, the ability to research and obtain material at 3am is a gift of incalculable worth.

What makes JSTOR so impressive is that at every point in the website, on every screen I used, I am presented with every conceivable option that I would like - next page, next article, return to search, etc. This is obviously a website which has been designed by people who use JSTOR themselves and along the way every "why can't I?" was turned into a "well, let's just put that in as well". JSTOR has the aesthetic elegance of Google with the software stability which I have found in Adobe Photoshop and almost nowhere else.

Keep up the great work - thanks for the link to Muse especially - that is a perfect example of user-centered evolution of the JSTOR service.
