About Books
Books at JSTOR is an initiative to publish scholarly books online as part of JSTOR, one of the most well known and widely used scholarly resources. Working together with partner publishers, libraries, and scholars, we have developed a new online offering for current and backlist books that we hope will meet the needs of these groups better than anything available in our community today.
We provide broad use and flexible purchase models for libraries; deliver a unique and valuable research experience for users; and enable sustainable models for publishers and their authors in the future.
Our driving focus is to deliver great content and experiences to researchers–an objective shared by publishers and libraries. Books are cross-searchable with the millions of journal articles and primary sources on JSTOR, linked through our vast network of citations, and contextualized by more than 1 million book reviews on the platform. They provide an online research experience marked by personalized, user-driven functionality. Please visit our Librarians' FAQs page for additional information on Books.
