Today, much content is available electronic ally or online. This book examines the history of one of the firs t, and most successful, digital resources for scholarly communica tion, JSTOR. Beginning as a grant-funded project of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation at the University of Michigan, JSTOR has grown to become a major archive of the backfiles of academic journals, and its own nonprofit organization. Roger Schonfeld begins this history by looking at JSTOR's original mission of saving storage space and thereby storage costs, a mission that expanded immedia tely to improving access to the literature. What role did the Uni versity play? Could JSTOR have been built without the active invo lvement of a foundation? Why was it seen as necessary to spin off the project? This case study proceeds as an organizational histo ry of the birth and maturation of this nonprofit, which had to em erge from the original university partnership to carve its own id entity. How did the grant project evolve into a successful market place enterprise? How was JSTOR able to serve its twofold mission of archiving its journals while also providing access to them? W hat has accounted for its growth? Finally, Schonfeld considers im plications of the economic and organizational aspects of archivin g as well as the system-wide savings that JSTOR ensures by broadl y distributing costs.

Finally, Schonfeld considers im plications of the economic and organizational aspects of archivin g as well as the system-wide savings that JSTOR ensures by broadl y distributing costs. Editorial Reviews Review Schonfeld's scho larship makes JSTOR: A History a valuable analysis of the mistake s and successes of a digital archive and scholarly resource, whil e his clear writing almost makes it a page-turner.---Ross MacDona ld, Electronic Library This book is an account of a computer pro ject but equally a thoughtful history of the managerial problems that confront a foundation intent on instigating a far-reaching i nnovation.---Anthony Smith, Times Higher Education Supplement Re view A fascinating read, this book will be of great interest to t he academic community. It is the first time I can think of that a library-related project has been documented in such detail. Scho nfeld has done a remarkably evenhanded job of telling the story o f how an idea becomes an operating organization. He tells an intr iguing and compelling story with great ease, discussing the failu res as well as the successes. I found myself anxious to find out what happened next. It is quite a talent that turns the history o f a journal digitalization project into a page-turner!?Deanna Mar cum, President of the Council on Library and Information Resource s This well-written book will be very useful to anyone contempla ting such a digitalization effort. The history is interesting for its own sake, but the real payoff will be in helping others avoi d some of the mistakes JSTOR made, and also to recognize opportun ities when they arise.?Hal Varian, Dean of the School of Informat ion and Management Systems, University of California, Berkeley F rom the Inside Flap A fascinating read, this book will be of grea t interest to the academic community.
