Dear Colleague -
We are very pleased to announce that nine new publishers have recently
joined the Current Scholarship Program. Thanks to the participation of
these new partners and the ten publishers that have already partnered
with JSTOR in the Program, libraries will be able to license and provide
their users with access to the current issues of 176 journals on the
JSTOR platform beginning in 2011.
The publishers that recently joined the Program include:
* American Society of International Law
* Australian and New Zealand Society of the History of
Medicine
* Australian Society for the Study of Labour History, Inc.
* The Classical Association of the Middle West and South
* The Historical Society of Pennsylvania
* Mathematical Association of America
* Oregon Historical Society
* Penn State University Press
* Trustees of Indiana University on behalf of its
Department of History
Together, these publishers bring a highly regarded and diverse body of
scholarship to the Program, particularly in the disciplines of history,
law, literature, math, and the classics. Specific titles include the
Classical Journal, one of the most important and influential journals in
the study of Greco-Roman antiquity, and the American Journal of
International Law, an essential publication for the fields of
international law and international relations. Other notable additions
to the Program include the Mathematical Association of America's
journals, which are widely recognized as core publications in the field
of mathematics at the undergraduate level.
We are very excited to have these publishers working with us to improve
access to current journal content. By working with our publisher
partners to add current issues to JSTOR, we further our commitment to
serve the needs of libraries, faculty, and students.
In the next months, JSTOR will be holding four webinars to demonstrate
how the Current Scholarship Program works.
