Fragmentation is fragile and expensive
For years, fragmentation has been the norm in digital collections stewardship, with libraries having to juggle multiple tools and platforms, causing a huge burden on IT and resources. It’s costly to maintain and often fragile.
JSTOR Digital Stewardship Services is perfect for those searching for:
- A library digital asset management system
- Digital preservation software
- Greater collection visibility for researchers
Here’s how JSTOR Digital Stewardship Services can help libraries
Digital asset management
Work in one integrated, intuitive workspace to organize, catalog, and manage text, images, audio, and video; publish to an institutionally branded presence on JSTOR to expand discovery; and streamline workflows while simplifying your tech stack with a values-aligned partner.
Built-in preservation
Strengthen your preservation strategy with built-in protection from Portico, a nonprofit digital preservation archive aligned with the OAIS Reference Model and NDSA Levels of Digital Preservation and trusted by thousands of libraries and publishers worldwide.
Discovery
Get unparalleled visibility and impact for your research workflows by placing them alongside secondary literature on a platform used by over 111 million users annually. Collections shared on JSTOR are indexed in Google and other major search engines, as well as other major library discovery services.
