Seeing this made me wonder:
Add JSTOR to Your Facebook
What if Microsoft were to give JSTOR, say, $15 million to cover open searches through Facebook? Would that not be very nice?November 13th, 2007 by LOCL
Now you can search the JSTOR database of scholarly journal articles from your Facebook.
To add the JSTOR application follow these easy steps:
- Search for “JSTOR Search” and select that application from the results.
- Click on the Add JSTOR Search button.
- In the application settings, set the Proxy to http://flagship.luc.edu/login?url=
- Search to your heart’s content.
Then I wondered: What if Google were to endow JSTOR with $150 million, or $15 billion, or whathaveyou, to cover open searches for the entire world? Would that not be very nice?

Didn't work for me. Just took me to a Loyola login page.
It seems a work in progress, even for those with JSTOR accounts. One trying it says:
My university (USF) library's proxy url is not in the same format as the example given and does not work in the search though I can use it to search jstor independently of the app.
Indeed it would be very nice & might even represent an actual example of bringing scholarly information into the public discourse. The public discourse which is currently so fucked that it thinks Newsweek putting Kos versus Rove on its pages is anything more valuable than a screaming, head-hammering bout of tinnitus.
Joe,
Is Newsweek still "public discourse"?
It's hard to find discourse that is not branded, fully anticipated, and minced in advance of what it is about.
Yes Paul, that link appears to go nowhere. It did go to a page where what you see here appeared. Making this a bit of metadata that refers to the ghost of data past. Making the metadata the useless trace of that which gave rise to it.
