Post-Cancellation Access

For cancellations made to subscriptions ending after the start date of the Publisher's participation in the Current Scholarship Program (2011) and later, libraries will have the following Post-Cancelation Access (PCA) options:

Libraries may purchase PCA for 10% of the then-current list price of the title, and JSTOR will provision and maintain access on its platform as long as this fee, called the Annual CSP PCA fee, is paid. JSTOR will provision PCA on the JSTOR platform from the Digital Availability Date (DAD) through the last issue purchased. For Digital Availability Dates, go to the Current Scholarship Program title list.

However, if the library participates in a JSTOR archive collection that includes the title being claimed, or the library is a Portico participant, JSTOR will provision PCA on the JSTOR platform at no charge, from the DAD through the last issue purchased, as long as the library continues to participate in the collection or remains a Portico participant.

Please refer to 7.3 Section of our Terms and Conditions for full description of the policies.

Placing a PCA Claim

1) JSTOR participants should contact JSTOR Support, giving the title and the subscribed years and volumes.

2) Support staff will verify this information with the publisher, check the library’s Portico participation status if applicable, and check the status of the subscription to the relevant archive collection.

3) If the claim is verified, support staff will provision access, advise the appropriate person in the library that this has been done, and, if appropriate, send an invoice.

*** Subscription agents are welcome to send this document to their customers to answer PCA questions, but PCA claims must come directly from the library to the support team.

Cataloging Information

JSTOR creates and enters new cataloging records or updates existing cataloging records in OCLC for each title, current or previous, in the archive. The records include the URL for each title in the 856 MARC field.

Currently, the only way to locate all the cataloging records for each title in a JSTOR collection is to conduct a title-by-title search in OCLC. When reviewing records for potential downloading to your local system, please ensure that there is not a MARC field indicating “Record reported for deletion.” In such cases, a different record should be located and reviewed for downloading.

Contact Outreach and Participation

If you have questions about what kind of content best suits the needs of your institution, your institutional participation coordinator will be able to able to offer guidance and assistance. You may contact JSTOR Outreach & Participation Services at participation@jstor.org.

JSTOR is dedicated to providing a trusted electronic archive of scholarly journals. In balancing the interests of publishers, libraries, and users, JSTOR archival collections do not include access to the most recent issues of journals to ensure that publisher interests are not undermined. However, the digital environment offers opportunities to link together disparate and related resources, and we have been working hard to develop a program that joins the back issues with the more recent issues in a way that makes the experience for users as seamless as possible. For this reason, JSTOR supports and encourages its participating institutions’ use of link resolvers. You can read more about our discoverability options below.

OpenURL

JSTOR supports OpenURL linking for all content. Users at institutions that have activated a link resolver for use with JSTOR will see OpenURL links for all content in collections not licensed by their institutions, as well as for links to current issues content on partner sites.

To activate OpenURL links for your institution, please send the following information to JSTOR User Support:

  1. The Base URL for your linking server (for example, http://sfxserver.uni.edu/sfxmenu, http://ab12cd34ef.search.serialssolutions.com/)
  2. (optional) If you would like a customized button to appear instead of the generic JSTOR button, then please send us your .gif or .jpeg image as an attachment, or a URL from where we can download the image. For accessibility and formatting reasons, your image must be at least 20 pixels in height and have a maximum width of 150 pixels.

Please contact JSTOR Support if you have any questions about OpenURL support and JSTOR.

Linking Partners

We are continuing in our efforts to make access to the JSTOR archive as convenient as possible for all of our participants. As part of this ongoing work, we are working with various organizations to enable article-level linking into JSTOR from their electronic journals, products, and databases. Institutions that subscribe to these resources may need to contact the providers directly in order to establish or "turn on" links to the JSTOR archive.

Google Scholar

In addition to accessing content directly from your library’s site, users might also find, through Google Scholar results, JSTOR content that you license. This process is possible due to a partnership between JSTOR and Google Scholar. JSTOR compiles the IP addresses and corresponding licenses of our participating institutions and makes them available in a space that Google Scholar regularly crawls. When Google Scholar sees a user coming from an IP address that is associated with a participating institution, and that user’s search returns results to which they have access on JSTOR, that user will see a link to JSTOR next to the result.

In some cases, our database may be out of sync with your institution's IP address(es). This may happen if you recently changed ISP, or if your network layout or infrastructure has changed. Please contact JSTOR Support if you have updated IP addresses, or if you have any questions about what users are or aren’t seeing based on this relationship.

Whether you want to brand JSTOR for your users or customize your website with JSTOR, you have options to ensure a great user experience through JSTOR. Read on to find out what is available to you as a participating institution.

Branding

As a librarian, you have several ways of branding the JSTOR experience for your users. Our provider designation statement is displayed to authenticated users on the top right corner of the screen. It reads:

"Your access to JSTOR provided by [your institution name]"

You may indicate to JSTOR Support what you would like to display here, whether it is a donating organization that has made JSTOR access possible or your university’s name with a link to your library website.

You can also brand the JSTOR experience by implementing a link resolver. This offers you the ability to use a specialized image and link text for OpenURL links available to your users. You may read more about setting up link resolvers here. At this time, these are the main ways of branding your users' experiences on JSTOR. If you would like to change or update what we currently have on file for your institution, please contact JSTOR Support for assistance.

For Your Library Website

JSTOR Logos

JSTOR® and the JSTOR logo are trademarks of JSTOR, and are Registered in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

As requested by JSTOR participants, we have created digital logos that may be downloaded and used in print or online materials. You are welcome to use the JSTOR logo on materials distributed to your users or on your institution’s web pages to announce your participation in JSTOR. We ask that you be aware of the following restrictions on the use of the JSTOR name and logo:

  • You may not use JSTOR's name or logo for any purpose other than as set forth above, except as specifically approved by JSTOR. Under no circumstance may JSTOR's name or logo be used in a way likely to cause confusion as to the origin of JSTOR's or other services.
  • You may not alter the appearance of the logo. JSTOR reserves the right to review your use of JSTOR's name or logo, and you agree to provide JSTOR with access to your site to review your use of the name or logo. JSTOR may require you to discontinue any such use.

Three logo sizes are available for download. If you have any questions about this policy, please contact JSTOR Support.

JSTOR Search Widget

The JSTOR Search Widget code is available on the following page. Please be sure to read the legal text regarding usage of the JSTOR Search Box, which is embedded in the code.

Your use of the JSTOR Search Widget indicates your acceptance of JSTOR's Terms and Conditions of Service. In particular, please be aware of Sections 9 and 11.1 of our Terms and Conditions of Service, as these pertain to Access Software.

This section contains various forms relevant to your participation with JSTOR, including a Sole Source Statement, W-9s, a Tax Exempt Letter, Accessibility Standards, and various payment documents.

Files for Download

Sole Source .pdf: While there are many online resources for scholarly content, JSTOR is the sole provider of the collections in the JSTOR Archive. This content is not being provided in JSTOR’s aggregated format from other sources.

Form W-9 (JSTOR) .pdf, Form W-9 (Portico) .pdf: Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, is an official statement from JSTOR of its Tax Identification Number. Participants may rely on the information on the form for their records and/or reporting needs. ITHAKA’s Employer Identification Number is 133857105.

Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Letter .pdf: This letter, dated March 13, 2000 from the Internal Revenue Service, establishes JSTOR as a tax exempt organization and as a public charity under Sections 501(c)(3) and 509(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Payment instructions:  for institution participants paying by check or wire transfer.

Accessibility Standards: the JSTOR Platform is compliant with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and W3C WAI Priority 1 accessibility standards.

JSTOR relies on a number of sources to support our goal of providing online access to a complete back run of every participating journal.

Publishers provide issues they have available and we make every reasonable effort to acquire any remaining issues through purchases from third-party vendors. However, in some instances there are still issues missing and in these cases libraries, societies, and individuals have been invaluable in helping to complete journal back runs through donations and loans.

Please download the list of "Issues Needed" (i.e., issues we have been unable to obtain from any source and are still seeking). Please let us know if you wish to receive the list in another format.

We very much appreciate the generosity of libraries and other sources willing to donate and/or lend needed materials for digitization. If you are in a position to help, or have any questions, please contact Phil Anchill and Jason Glover at issues.needed@jstor.org.
