2. Began JSTOR Contributions in 2009
Since 2009, the SDSU Library has contributed 91 journal titles (several hundred volumes) to JSTOR to be scanned. Six of these were in Spanish.
JSTOR Collection Development group determines which titles will be digitized and JSTOR issues acquisitions is responsible for obtaining volumes from libraries or publishers.
Publishers may choose to add current content to JSTOR and then backfiles will be added.

7. Downsides?
Students may not realize they can access these articles for free and they may pay for them.
JSTOR could raise prices.
Maintenance of digital formats can be expensive and labor intensive.
Some binding gets destroyed during the digitization process.
