Abstract

This article explains the role of JSTOR, which has selected and electronically converted 100 of the earliest and most important scholarly literature in the humanities and social sciences. Its database now contains over 2 million pages and continues to expand. Old files are digitized from the firstissue published. Database usage by both publishers and college/university staff and students is growing rapidly, and increases in production capacity are ongoing. JSTOR plans to offer access to the relevant fields which libraries prefer rather than encompass a whole cross-disciplinary group. To ensure useful and well-rounded titles, experts in the field are consulted to rank the most important files. Response to JSTOR's accomplishments to date has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic.
