Abstract
- JSTOR has become a standard offering at most U.S. universities and colleges, as well as a growing number of higher education institutions outside the U.S. This paper will track the growth of JSTOR since its inception in 1995 as an experimental digitization project to today as an archive of over 500 scholarly titles in 40 disciplines. We will consider the two threads of JSTOR's mission--to safeguard titles in a digital form, and to provide access to them as broadly as possible-and assess the value the project has provided to the academic community. In addition, there will be some discussion of future directions and challenges for JSTOR. doi: 10.1300/J111v46n02_05 KEYWORDS.
