If I understand this correctly, it implies that 
libraries that subscribe to JSTOR and that, due 
to lack of funding, do not buy current editions 
of a magazine, can only provide copies to 
researchers of issues that predate the position 
of the "moving wall". If my inference is correct, 
it means that many researchers must be unable to 
access articles before they are "past their sell-by date".
