Description

Publisher: JSTOR
Collection(s): JSTOR books

Description: We already have access to JSTOR journals through our ongoing partnership with them. This entry is about expanding that access to include ebooks.

Notes:

  • We've had some conversations with JSTOR about this. They would prefer to wait until we've rolled out access to JSTOR Journals via the Library Bundle before progressing with book access.

Event Timeline

Excluding recent content which is not suitable due to recentism, how many of these books are available on the Internet Archive?

Less than 0.5%.

This is helpful to know. How did you get this number, out of interest?

rolled out access to JSTOR Journals via the Library Bundle

Am I correct in my understanding from the entry on the TWL website for JSTOR that we have done so?

It has! Have we brought books up again with JSTOR @sjvipin?

Yes, we did but they have not got back to us regarding books. I am following up periodically.

Hi @Kemkhachev !

JSTOR is not able to give us access to their books due to the agreements they have with their publisher partners. We are trying to speak to the publishers who host their books on JSTOR directly so that they can open access to their content for us.

Although we have made some progress (we made books from from The Central European University Press and Leuven University Press are available on JSTOR), this process takes longer than usual. We are working on some new strategies as well to make books from multiple publishers available in one go.

Really appreciate your patience on this.

Thanks,
Vipin
