Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 448 pages. Ten years ago, most scholars and students relied on bulky card catalogs, prin ted bibliographic indices, and hardcopy books and journals. Today, much content is available electronically or online. This book examines the history of one of the first, and most successful, digital resources for scholarly communication, J STOR. 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 bac kfiles of academic journals, and its own nonprofit organization. Roger Schonfel d begins this history by looking at JSTOR's original mission of saving storage s pace and thereby storage costs, a mission that expanded immediately to improving access to the literature. What role did the University play? Could JSTOR have b een built without the active involvement of a foundation? Why was it seen as nec essary to spin off the project? This case study proceeds as an organizational hi story of the birth and maturation of this nonprofit, which had to emerge from th e original university partnership to carve its own identity. How did the grant p roject evolve into a successful marketplace enterprise? How was JSTOR able to se rve its twofold mission of archiving its journals while also providing access to them? What has accounted for its growth?
