JSTOR Current Scholarship Program

["Jason Phillips" <Jason.Phillips@ithaka.org>]

Dear Colleague -

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.

In the next months, JSTOR will be holding four webinars to 
demonstrate how the Current Scholarship Program works.
