Mission and Goals

In the broadest sense, JSTOR's mission is to help the scholarly community take advantage of advances in information technologies. In pursuing this mission, JSTOR has adopted a system-wide perspective, taking into account the sometimes conflicting needs of libraries, publishers, and scholars.

JSTOR's goals include the following:

• To build a reliable and comprehensive archive of important scholarly journal literature
• To improve dramatically access to these journals
• To help fill gaps in existing library collections of journal backfiles
• To address preservation issues such as mutilated pages and long-term deterioration of paper copy
• To reduce long-term capital and operating costs of libraries associated with the storage and care of journal collections
• To assist scholarly associations and publishers in making the transition to electronic modes of publication
• To study the impact of providing electronic access on the use of these scholarly materials

I'd love to know how they accomplish this last goal, given that their actual mission appears to be to protect the pulp, print and lumber industries by ensuring that no scintillae of intellect ever escape the JSTOR lockdown. And they split infinitives.
