Project Purpose
The goal of CRL's JSTOR print archive is to assemble a collection of JSTOR archive journal volumes in print form. The titles match most of those in the JSTOR Archive Collections. We make an exception for JSTOR collections that are not widely held by CRL member libraries, this includes titles found in the Ireland and the British Pamphlets Collections.
The CRL JSTOR print archive is for the use of CRL library members. It provides CRL member libraries with the assurance that print versions of all JSTOR archive titles are available should the JSTOR electronic archive be unable to meet the needs of our members. The volumes in the CRL JSTOR archive are received through donation from CRL member libraries. CRL commits to preserving the volumes, and providing them to members when appropriate.
A complete list of JSTOR archived titles is available on the JSTOR website.
Current JSTOR Holdings
The CRL JSTOR Catalog provides volume level information about the holdings we have available on our shelves as well as those we would like to acquire. Call numbers for JSTOR materials are assigned using the same convention as for other CRL holdings. A unique alpha/numerical call number, is assigned to each donated title beginning with the letter J. The numerical part of the call number is assigned sequentially, and is based on the date of accession. For example, the first title and volume we acquired in 2000 was the Annual Review of Sociology, and so it was assigned the call number J-1. Because content is shelved as it is received, volumes within a title may be assigned to different call numbers.
All current JSTOR records in CRL’s catalog (http://catalog.crl.edu/) have fields that list current holdings and issues wanted. Please note that the catalog holdings do not reflect donation offers we have accepted, but have not yet received and processed.
