Searching best practices on JSTOR
Hi Tumblr researchers,
As promised, we're going to dive into some best practices for searching on JSTOR. This'll be a long one!
The first thing to note is that JSTOR is not Google, so searches should not be conducted in the same way.
More on that in this video:
Basic Search on JSTOR
To search for exact phrases, enclose the words within quotation marks, like "to be or not to be".
To construct a more effective search, utilize Boolean operators, such as "tea trade" AND china.
Advanced Searching on JSTOR
Utilize the drop-down menus to refine your search parameters, limiting them to the title, author, abstract, or caption text.
Combine search terms using Boolean operators like AND/OR/NOT and NEAR 5/10/25. The NEAR operator finds keyword combinations within 5, 10, or 25 words of each other. It applies only when searching for single keyword combinations, such as "cat NEAR 5 dog," but not for phrases like "domesticated cat" NEAR 5 dog.
Utilize the "Narrow by" options to search for articles exclusively, include/exclude book reviews, narrow your search to a specific time frame or language.
To focus your article search on specific disciplines and titles, select the appropriate checkboxes. Please note that discipline searching is currently limited to journal content, excluding ebooks from the search.
Finding Content You Have Access To
To discover downloadable articles, chapters, and pamphlets for reading, you have the option to narrow down your search to accessible content. Simply navigate to the Advanced Search page and locate the "Select an access type" feature, which offers the following choices:
All Content will show you all of the relevant search results on JSTOR, regardless of whether or not you can access it.
Content I can access will show you content you can download or read online. This will include Early Journal Content and journals/books publishers have made freely available.
Once you've refined your search, simply select an option that aligns with your needs and discover the most relevant items. Additionally, you have the option to further narrow down your search results after conducting an initial search. Look for this option located below the "access type" checkbox, situated at the bottom left-hand side of the page.
Additional resources
For more search recommendations, feel free to explore this page on JSTOR searching. There, you will find information on truncation, wildcards, and proximity, using fields, and metadata hyperlinks.

The end of an Era ...
Do you know how Maria Bjornson got involved with Phantom in the first place? Was she handpicked by one of the creatives involved, or was it under other circumstances?
Ya know, that is one of the things I tried to look closer at in an article I published on Maria Bjørnson in 2021. It can be read in parts here: https://mariabjornson.com/downloads/
Or in full here, in the original article also featuring the illustrations: https://dresshistorians.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Winter_2021_issue.pdf
Some quotes:
"Bjørnson had mainly designed for opera and plays when she was approached to design The Phantom of the Opera, a new musical about a deformed genius. The producer Cameron Mackintosh had seen Bjørnsons work several times, but it was her take on the sinking ship in the Royal Shakespeare Company's 1982 production of The Tempest that appeared to have piqued Mackintosh's interest. The ship sank into the floor by simple means - some sails, a bit of rope, wooden remains of a boat - and yet these simple means created the production's own universe.
Bjørnson said, "I later asked him whan made him approach me to do Phantom. He said it was the Tempest shipwreck - I had the boat sink into the floor of the stage, and the sail washed up into the sky. That became Prospero's island". Mackintosh was to produce The Phantom of the Opera, and this was the sort of cinematic flow needed for the musical.
Bjørnson was not, however, the only designer considered. When Hal Prince was hired as the director for The Phantom of the Opera, Mackintosh recommended five designers to him. Prince said of the designers, "One stood out. Considering the assignment - a flamboyant Victorian melodrama - it must seem strage that I was especially impressed with a single-set design - almost minimalist - of an Ibsen play. A rectangle, wooden louvers, beautiful furniture, architectually spare: an inviting space to tell a powerful story"
And in my opinion, much of what made them look at her in the first place - the cinematic flow and the sense of "black box" towards intricate single pieces in the set design - is also key to the success of the Phantom design. Which I go on to discuss in the afore-mentioned article :)

Exposing the Secret History of Giants and the Underground Hyperborean Gallery in Romania
With Rosia Montana being a mining area, a number of interesting discoveries have been unearthed there over the years - such as the skeleton of a 10 meter (32.8 feet) tall giant found in 1976. This is just one example of the many giants that have been unearthed in Romania, and with the large number of exposed giant skeletons, it is no wonder that legends of the country are full of the creatures as well.

معزوفة ( كونشرتو دي آرانخويت )
…………………………………………..
ألفها المُلحن الإسباني خواكين رودريغو سنة 1939 حين فَقَد طفله الوليد الأول، تُعتبر واحدة من أجمل المعزوفات في القرن العشرين، حيثُ تحكي المقطوعة نبض قلب الطفل الهادئ وخفقاته الأولى والأخيرة قبل وفاته. ❤️
Composed by the Spanish composer Joaquín Rodrigo in 1939 when he lost his first newborn child, it is considered one of the most beautiful instrumentals of the twentieth century, as the piece tells about the calm heartbeat of the child and his first and last beats before his death. ❤️
But when one constrains Nature in that way and treats human beings as mannequins, one runs a risk of getting nothing but dead, artificial results. A hunter of truth and a trapper of life. I am careful not to follow their example. I seize upon the movements I observe, but I don’t dictate them. when a subject requires a predetermined pose, I merely Indicate It. For I want only what reality will afford without being forced. In everything I obey Nature. I never assume to command her. My sole ambition is a servile fidelity. (from L'Art. Entretiens réunis par Paul Gsell, 1911)

I went to see the harbour production again, and it was a clear night, so I got to see it in all its glory! Including the Phantom flying in in a chariot for Masquerade. I wasn't expecting that! I hear the Handa opera always films their productions and releases them later, so I'm hopeful that people will be able to see it eventually. :D
You saw the full show! With no rain!! How awesome.
I didn't know they often filmed and published their productions. But in vein of the Australian LND, that would be a super reference and a good way for people around the world to see this version of POTO. Thanks for the heads up!
