This is a subscription service offered by IUP and on campus you will connect directly using the IUP network with the address  http://www.jstor.org/.
Off campus try going directly to http://voyager.ship.edu/remote/validate.cgi?db=JSTOR to logon to the system using the 16-digit number just under your name on your IUP I-card (put the sixteen numbers in without any spaces beginning with 6008).  Alternately, you may need to go to the IUP library e-journals page first at
http://www.lib.iup.edu/databases/e-journals.html.  Then click on JSTOR Arts and Sciences I Collection and be prompted for the logon.
You may also use the Virtual Private Network (VPN), and this will allow you to use any of the library’s resources from off campus just as if you were on campus.  See http://www.iup.edu/itsupportcenter/vpn/default.aspx.
