8 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."
