Eight New Publishers and 30 New Titles Join for 2015

JSTOR is pleased to announce that the 2015 catalog and price list for
the Current Scholarship Program (CSP) are now available.

The Current Scholarship Program, which integrates current journals
alongside archival content on the JSTOR platform, continues to grow
steadily. A total of 301 titles, 30 of them new to the program, will be
available for the 2015 subscription year. Fifty-two leading publishers
are participating in the 2015 program, and we anticipate additional
journals will be added for the 2015 subscription year.

As the program hits the five year mark, we invite you to read a brief
five-year CSP retrospective, which assesses the impact of the Current
Scholarship Program and the progress that it has made toward its
original aims. A few accomplishments include:

· More than 6,500 libraries in 95 countries now subscribe to CSP
journals. Publishers in the program have seen their subscriber bases
grow by an average of 7% each year, and attrition rates have been below
industry average.
· Journals often see increased usage on the JSTOR platform and sustained
growth year on year. Some have seen increases of more than 100%.
· Subscription prices for CSP journals have remained at rates far lower
than the industry average (CSP journals have an average cost of $176 per
title), and we have successfully worked with several publishers to tier
their pricing to enable a wider range of libraries to subscribe.

Complimentary Access for Early Orders

JSTOR is again pleased to offer complimentary e-access for the remainder
of 2014 for new 2015 subscription orders received by September 1, 2014.
Complimentary e-access is not available for journals that are new to the
program for 2015. Please contact participation@jstor.org for more details.

Flexible Subscription Options

Institutions may subscribe to journals in the Current Scholarship
Program as single titles, discounted publisher packages, discipline
collections, or the discounted Complete Current Scholarship Collection.
All subscription prices are set by participating publishers, and some
publishers and titles offer pricing tiered according to JSTOR
classifications.

Orders can be placed directly with JSTOR or via your subscription agent.
JSTOR also offers reserve accounts, which institutions may use to set
aside funds for later allocation to JSTOR offerings. Institutions
interested in setting up a reserve account with end-of-year funds can
contact participation@jstor.org for more information.

About the Current Scholarship Program

The Current Scholarship Program (CSP) provides access to more than 300
high-quality current titles from 52 leading publishers, linking current
journals with archival content on JSTOR’s trusted platform. JSTOR is one
of the most heavily used and relied-upon research and teaching platforms
for academic libraries, helping scholars to discover, use, and build
upon a wide range of academic content.

The Current Scholarship Program was a direct response to the needs of
the communities JSTOR serves. It was created to help presses, scholarly
associations, libraries, faculty, and students benefit from investment
in a shared technology platform and related services to support the
publication, dissemination, and use of new scholarship. JSTOR and its
participating publishers share a mission to advance fair and sustainable
models that promote the widest possible dissemination of scholarly research.

Subject: Join Taylor & Francis’ Twitter Party on the use of social media
in the library
From: "Oosman, Aalia" <Aalia.Oosman@tandf.co.uk>
Date: Thu, 29 May 2014 16:04:52 +0000

Taylor & Francis is investigating how social media is used in the
academic library and how this differs based on the experience level,
knowledge, and focus of librarians. We are producing a White Paper
(http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/pdf/white-paper-social-media-in-the-library-best-practice.pdf)
and, as part of this research, we’re hosting a Twitter party on Thursday
June 5 between 10:00-10:45 AM, EDT, to discover your thoughts on using
social media in the library.

Take part in our qualitative research and engage with other librarians
through one of the most popular means of social communication, Twitter!
Your input will help form the basis of our upcoming White Paper.

Is this your first Twitter party? Here’s how to take part:
Register by June 4th and sign into Twitter on the time and day above,
and then search for #tfsocialmedia. You’ll instantly see the discussion
and can join in by tweeting @librarylantern, using #tfsocialmedia to
share your thoughts on:
· The challenges and opportunities social media presents to the library
community

· Social media as a teaching tool - the role social media plays in
information literacy
· User engagement & perception of using social media in the library
· Accessibility– how SNS are being promoted in the library
· Measurability - the impact of social media
Everyone who registers will receive the discussion guide in advance and
a small gift afterwards. Click here to register:

The hash tag for this event is #tfsocialmedia and it will be hosted on
Library Lantern (www.twitter.com/LibraryLantern). We look forward to
welcoming you there!
