Highlights of this platform update include: • A wider range of content formats, including full-text HTML for some journals and downloadable PDFs for all current journal issues • Multimedia files for some journals • New personalization features, including the ability to register for Table of Contents (TOC) emails and alerts when new content matches saved search terms • New informational pages for the titles participating in the Current Scholarship Program Changes to existing functionality and forthcoming features: • Article citation information will reside within the “View Citation” overlay • The “Collections at your institution” page will list licensed Archive Collections and licensed CSP titles. Please note that the export of an institution-specific holdings file will no longer be accessible from this page, but may be requested by contacting support@jstor.org • Please note that Current Issues Linking will be removed for titles in the Current Scholarship Program. This change will take effect on 12/18. While current issues will not be accessible until 1/1, link resolvers will continue to point at the appropriate targets. • All CSP content will be preserved in Portico, and manifest pages will be made available for CSP publishers who participate in LOCKSS. Data sharing with Portico and LOCKSS will be available in mid-2011. During this platform update, you may not be able to use MyJSTOR (for example, to save citations, or to make changes to your account,) however everything else should function as normal. Release of Current Issues on JSTOR Please note that from December 18 – 31, 2010, JSTOR will be loading the first set of CSP journals. This will include all 2010 content for CSP journals, and recent back issues for most titles. It will also include archival content to volume 1, issues 1 for most titles. Please be aware that during this brief period, users may locate this content if they choose to browse or search all content. They will not have access to this content, however, until 2011 subscription access begins on JSTOR the first of the year. Throughout January, we’ll be hosting webinars that will review the platform update in detail. For times and to register, visit http://about.jstor.org/news-events. We will also be providing platform demos and are available to answer questions at ALA Midwinter 2011. Please visit JSTOR at Booth #808.
