JSTOR ECOLOGY & BOTANY COLLECTION
JSTOR and MIMAS are very pleased to announce the release today of the
Ecology & Botany Collection, JSTOR's third archival collection of
scholarly journals, to institutions in the UK. The collection,
totaling 29 journals and over one million pages, contains some of the
most essential journals published in the environmental sciences. Many
publications, such as American Naturalist and International Journal
of Plant Sciences, extend back into the 19th Century. Ecologists,
conservationists and scholars in related fields will now be able to
research journal literature in the environmental sciences going back
more than 130 years. Access to this archive is made possible through
a special collaborative relationship between JSTOR and the Joint
Information Systems Committee (JISC).
JSTOR has created this collection in cooperation with the Ecological
Society of America (ESA), a not-for-profit organisation whose members
are conducting research, teaching, and working to provide the
ecological knowledge needed to solve environmental problems. We are
pleased to have had the support of the ESA in the creation and
production of this collection. Thanks to funds that have been made
available to the ESA from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation that helped
cover production costs, JSTOR has been able to reduce significantly
the fees for this collection.
You may view the complete list of titles in the Ecology & Botany
Collection on our web site at
http://uk.jstor.org/about/ecobot.list.html. There are six titles
common to both the Arts & Sciences I and the Ecology & Botany
Collections.
Participation fees and information for the Ecology & Botany
Collection for UK participants are available on the JSTOR web site at
http://uk.jstor.org/about/uk_fees.html. The Ecology & Botany
participation fees are reduced for institutions already participating
in Arts & Sciences I.
We welcome your comments and questions.
Regards,
