Good day to all!
I am delighted to announce that JSTOR has introduced a new program to make Open Access monographs available on its platform. At this time, 63 monographs across the Humanities and Social Sciences are available
from UCL Press, Cornell University Press, University of California Press, and University of Michigan Press. We are planning to announce additional partners and hundreds more Open Access titles in the coming months.
The ebooks are freely available for anyone to use, and carry one of six Creative Commons licenses. The titles are DRM-free, and users will not need to register or log in to JSTOR to access the titles. We are
making free MARC records available to all libraries, and providing metadata and full text for these titles to the major discovery services. We hope that making the titles discoverable alongside other scholarly resources on JSTOR will help increase their usage
and impact. We look forward to sharing what we learn with the scholarly community.
For further details and the full list of titles, please visit

Cheers,
Colleen
