One-time payment option
Community college libraries can now purchase a single collection containing all archival journals and primary sources on JSTOR for a single one-time fee that is substantially lower than the collection-by-collection pricing (see the collection-by-collection option below) we have previously offered for one-time payments.
| Community College Size | One-Time Payment Fee |
|---|---|
| Small (full-time enrollment under 1,000) | $25,500 |
| Medium (full-time enrollment between 1,000 and 10,000) | $44,200 |
| Large (full-time enrollment over 10,000) | $85,000 |
A subscription model for the comprehensive collection will be introduced mid-2023, after expanded access expires and our commitment to flat pricing through 2023 ends. If that model is preferable to your institution, please continue your subscriptions with expanded access. More information will follow in early 2023, or you may contact us to learn more.
Licensing collection by collection
Under this model, community colleges select and license individual archive and primary source collections on a collection-by-collection basis. All community colleges pay Annual Access Fees (AAF) that are the same as Very Small universities and four-year colleges in the United States, with occasional exceptions.
The following charts outline fee structure by collection. To confirm pricing for your school, please contact us.
