JSTOR Announces Current Collections

From the Announcement:

In conjunction with the 2011 launch of the Current Scholarship Program (CSP), JSTOR is pleased to introduce the Current Collections. Recently, JSTOR announced that 176 titles from 19 publishers will be available in the Current Scholarship Program for the 2011 subscription year. Individual titles will be available and, based on input from our participating libraries, this current content has also been organized into collections that mirror JSTOR’s archive collections. The Current Collections are detailed below. Each collection has a link to a downloadable title list for that Collection, which libraries can use for comparison purposes with their own holdings.

A complete Current Scholarship Program Title List for 2011 Subscription Year (.csv file) is available here.

The announcement goes on to provide title lists for these collections:

+ Eight Arts & Sciences Collections (I-VIII)
+ One Life Sciences Collection
+ One Biological Sciences Collection
+ Three Business Collections (I-III)
+ One Ecology & Botany Collection
+ One Health & General Sciences Collection
+ One Language & Literature Collection
+ One Mathematics & Statistics Collection
+ One Music Collection

Also available:

"Community specific collections" and an "all-inclusive collection" (all 176 titles).

[JSTOR] will replicate packages currently offered by the CSP-participating publishers. Full runs (the current content plus back file) will also be available for each collection.

The Current Collection prices are formed from the individual-title prices set by CSP-participating publishers. JSTOR adds no additional fees. These prices will be released in the summer of 2010. Access to current content on the JSTOR platform will begin in January of 2011.

A final list of publishers and titles that will be available via the Current Scholarship Program for the 2011 subscription year is available here [PDF].

The announcement concludes with info about a free Holdings Comparison Service and upcoming webinars.

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.

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?
