After days of mind-numbingly dull work, I finally have a key to match institution names in the journals dataset to journals in the JSTOR dataset. I am a little worried because my casual observation of the data suggests that JSTOR does not appear randomly across institutions. I might be able to deal with the selection issue with some instruments. Even if I do not have a suitable non-JSTOR group, I still have variation over time and across journals on availability through JSTOR. I have 1,700 matching institutions (out of 3,000+ I had to attempt to match from JSTOR), and 30 years of data, I am not worried about a lack of power problem.
I will check my work in the morning. And backup!
