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.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
