Current Scholarship Program 
2012 Catalog

JSTOR is pleased to announce that the 2012 title list and price list for the Current Scholarship Program (CSP) are now available online.

A total of 214 titles—42 of them new to the program—will be available for the 2012 subscription year. Thirty publishers currently participate in the Current Scholarship Program; they share a commitment to fair, sustainable pricing, and to supporting the broad dissemination of scholarship.

Journals in the Current Scholarship Program may be subscribed to on a single title basis; in Current Collections designed to help institutions leverage their JSTOR Archive holdings; and in a number of discounted publisher packages that are newly available for 2012. A subscription to the Complete Current Scholarship Collection includes all 214 journals in the program. Prices for all current journals are set by the publishers, and a current subscription includes access to all “born digital” content for the title (content originally published in electronic form, outside of an aggregation). The 2012 catalog and title list may be downloaded athttp://about.jstor.org/csp.

The Current Scholarship Program welcomes 11 new publishers for 2012. They join California, Chicago, Illinois, Indiana, Penn State and Nebraska university presses and a number of other scholarly publishers in making current journal issues available alongside archival content on the JSTOR platform.

For more information, please contact participation@jstor.org.

***With Apologies for Cross-Posting***

The University of Chicago Press has released 2012 journals subscription rates for institutional subscribers. For a complete list of journals published by the Press and to download the rate sheet, please visit our website: www.journals.uchicago.edu. 
 
NEW FOR 2012

*	For 2012 we are pleased to extend the 40 percent discount (introduced in 2011) to institutions subscribing to all Chicago journals through the Complete Chicago Package. To simplify ordering procedures and better meet the needs of our customers, the CCP will now be offered solely in electronic-only format. CCP subscribers who wish to purchase print copies of any of Chicago's journals may do so at the deeply discounted rate of 75 percent off the print-only subscription price.

*	We're pleased to add two journals to our roster for 2012: American Political Thought: A Journal of Ideas, Institutions, and Culture and Art Documentation: Journal of the Art Libraries Society of North America. 

American Political Thought will feature research by political scientists, historians, literary scholars, economists, and philosophers who study the texts, authors, and ideas at the foundation of the American political tradition. Research will explore key political concepts such as democracy, constitutionalism, equality, liberty, citizenship, political identity, and the role of the state. Published in association with the Notre Dame Department of Political Science and the non-profit Jack Miller Center, APT will be the only journal dedicated to the burgeoning field of American political thought. It will publish twice a year in print and electronic formats, with the first issue to publish in spring 2012.

Art Documentation, published in association with the Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA), is an indispensable forum for scholarship on art and architecture librarianship, visual resources curatorship, digital image management, visual arts technology, art publishing, and related areas. With its move to the Press, Art Documentation will continue to publish twice yearly in both print and electronic format. The electronic edition will be included along with all Chicago journals in JSTOR's Current Scholarship Program and in JSTOR's back file archive. Expanded indexing and archiving, as well as search and citation-linking functionality in a new full-text HTML format, will make electronic content more discoverable and useful. The print edition will feature a new layout and an exciting new cover design reflective of the journal's visually oriented audience. The first issue under the partnership will publish spring 2012 (vol. 31 no.1).

Institutional subscriptions to Chicago journals in electronic format are handled by JSTOR through the Current Scholarship Program.
