JSTOR's Current Scholarship Program Gets a New Member, The University of Chicago Press

A few days ago we posted that the JSTOR Current Scholarship Program had reached 100 members. Now, word of a new Current Scholarship member arrives.

Today, news that the University of Chicago Press has joined the Current Scholarship Program. The full text of the joint media announcement is available here.

From the Announcement:

The University of Chicago Press, one of the world’s oldest and largest university presses, brings 51 titles to the program...Both current and back issues will be accessible on the platform.

There are now eleven publishers working together as part of the program, and that number is rapidly increasing. With the addition of Chicago, the current issues for at least 150 journals will be available on JSTOR by 2011. This content will be seamlessly integrated with and accessible alongside the more than 1,100 journals with back issues on JSTOR today as well as a growing set of primary source materials from libraries and museums.

More than 6,000 JSTOR library participants worldwide will be able to license the current journals, either individually or as part of current issue collections, together with JSTOR back issue collections in a single transaction. The journals will also continue to be preserved in Portico, the digital preservation service that, along with JSTOR, is part of the not-for-profit ITHAKA.

[Snip]

The relationship between JSTOR and the University of Chicago Press dates back to 1996 when the Press became one of the first publishers to store journal backfiles in the JSTOR digital archive.
