About JSTOR

Scholarly Journal Archive

Mission:

(1) create a trusted archive of important scholarly literature

(2) to extend access to that archive as broadly as possible.

Originally conceived at The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in 1994

Established as an independent not-for-profit organization in August

1995

Initially a pilot project (University of Michigan) to provide electronic

access to the backfiles of ten journals in two core fields, economics

and history

Offices in New York City and Ann Arbor, Michigan USA

How does an user apply the Archive?

The change of SSH researchers’ using habit and resource type

Applying early period’s resource is getting more and more important for

basic disciplines

Trend of library collecting resources

Libraries collect not only the latest resources, but also think highly of

value of the early period’s resources

– Can current e-journals and databases fulfill users’ needs or not?

– Can print journals recover e-journals’ time lag or not?

Journal Archive and Institutional Repository are the trend in libraries

Support from government to form library consortia

More and more digital archive programs

The importance of Archive

19th Century British Political Pamphlets

At the invitation of RLUK (Research Libraries UK, formerly CURL), JSTOR collaborated on their bid to the JISC Digitization Program. The project envisions:

Digitizing 20,000+ 19th Century British Pamphlets that focus on key Parliamentary debates and figures

RLUK libraries will contribute pamphlets to be digitized to JSTOR’s technical specifications at the University of Southampton

JSTOR will incorporate the pamphlets into the archive, increasing research pathways to the material by assigning DOIs and opening it to public search engines and other gateways

16

Ireland Collection

At the invitation of Queen’s University Belfast, JSTOR collaborated to help develop an electronic library of core Irish materials:

Project encompasses 100 journals (including some no longer publishing), 200 monographs, and 2,500 manuscript pages

JSTOR, working closely with Queen’s, will license copyrighted works from publishers

Queen’s will digitize the materials to JSTOR’s specifications; JSTOR will take responsibility for making them accessible and their long-term preservation

Majority of journals currently have no online presence
