Current
Scholarship Program: 176 titles from 19 Publishers will be Available for the
2011 Subscription Year
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.
