JSTOR ... one of the world's most trusted sources for academic content.

JSTOR connects libraries, researchers, teachers, and students around the world with vital scholarly content in more than 50 disciplines.  JSTOR, a not-for-profit service founded in 1995, includes scholarship published in over one thousand of the highest-quality academic journals across the humanities, social sciences, and sciences, as well as monographs and other materials valuable for academic work.

JSTOR collaborates with hundreds of publishers and content providers to preserve and broaden access to their scholarly content.  Participating publishers include university presses, commercial publishers, scholarly and professional societies, university departments, independent organizations, museums, and libraries.

Content & Collections
Journals are always included from volume 1, issue 1 and include previous and unrelated titles.  Collections are full-text searchable, offers search term highlighting, includes high-quality images, and is interlinked by millions of citations and references.

The Journals Archive Collections
WALDO is offering additional savings on qualifying archive collections.  The Archive Collections are multi-disciplinary and discipline-specific collections that include complete runs of journals.  These collections span across more than 50 disciplines of academic content.  These collections are designed to offer institutions the flexibility of choosing the materials that are most appropriate for their needs.
More Information.

The majority of content in the archive is journal literature, though inclusion of other materials such as conference proceedings, transactions, pamphlets, monographs, manuscripts, and other materials is growing.  Currently there are 1980 titles, including previous titles, as well as other content available.  New titles and other materials are being added regularly.

For each of the journal titles, the time period between the last issue available in the JSTOR archive and the most recently published issue of a journal is referred to as the "moving wall."  In rare instances, a publisher has elected to have a "zero" moving wall, so their current issues are available in JSTOR shortly after publication.  Moving walls vary from 1-10 years but are generally 3-5 years for most titles.

Arts & Sciences IX
JSTOR's new addition to the Archive Collections will have a minimum of 150 titles by the end of 2012 and widens JSTOR's coverage in business and the social sciences.  Journals from over 25 countries provide outstanding international diversity, and rare materials bringing unique depth to the collection, with research covering archaeology, anthropology, sociology, business, economics, population studies, and political science.  Notable titles include The American Sociologist, International Journal of Sociology, Oceania, Public Affairs Quarterly, and Science & Society More Information

“JSTOR is invaluable.  Its holdings are expansive, and the quality of the content and images are fantastic.  Scholarship and research in the history of art would be unimaginable without it.”

Ken Soehner, Arthur K. Watson Chief Librarian, The Metropolitan Museum of Art
