From: Shawn Herman <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 21 Mar 2013 16:30:41 -0400 **Please excuse cross posting** Announcing Arts & Sciences XII JSTOR is pleased to announce the Arts & Sciences XII Archive Collection, which will launch in April and feature a minimum of 125 titles at completion. This collection expands JSTOR’s coverage in the social sciences, focusing on disciplines with high usage and broad appeal across all levels of higher education institutions. Three disciplines—education, law, and political science—will anchor the collection, with supporting clusters in sociology, criminology, social work, psychology, and Asian studies. Arts & Sciences XII will include journals from the American Bar Association, Brill, Lynne Reinner, and Springer. Notable titles will include: ABA Journal; Sociologie du travail, from Elsevier Masson SAS; Journal of Comparative Family Studies; Journal of Quantitative Criminology; Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Sri Lanka and Foro italiano, with content dating to the 1800s; and Educational Psychology Review. Since launching our first archive collection in 1997, we have worked to lower fees consistently. We have also heard from a number of institutions regarding the challenge of managing expenditure on recurring fees. In response to this feedback, Arts & Sciences XII will have a lower Annual Access Fee (AAF) than those of our previous Arts & Sciences collections. We also provide flexible payment options to help institutions license collections in ways that best suit their budgets: * Institutions may choose to spread the one-time Archive Capital Fee (ACF) over a period of up to 10 years, with no interest charged. This option is available for all Arts & Sciences collections and the Life Sciences collection. * Reserve accounts are available for institutions who would like to set aside funds for archive collections. Please contact us for details. Thank you for your ongoing support of JSTOR. For more information on Arts & Sciences XII or other archive collections, please contact us today.
