JSTOR Resources for Licensing Representatives

When: JSTOR is announcing the partnership in October 2022

What:

• JSTOR is expanding our partnership with ProQuest to allow libraries to participate in our Demand-Driven Acquisition (DDA) model through OASIS and Rialto. This new offering will give libraries the option of managing DDA workflows using ProQuest’s tools, but we will also continue to support and improve our direct selling models.

• ProQuest will not be targeting our existing DDA participants for migration to OASIS or Rialto. Instead, they will pursue new opportunities with ProQuest customers that do not yet participate in our DDA model.

• Licensing agents can offer libraries a higher savings level on DDA purchases than ProQuest. Libraries that participate in DDA directly through JSTOR qualify for savings based on their Books at JSTOR Classification tier and the size of their initial deposit (volume-based savings.

• If a participant moves to ProQuest, their savings will be reduced by five percentage points, and will be limited to no more than 40% savings.

• For new participants, the volume-based savings based on the size of the deposit will not apply when working with ProQuest. This is exactly the same policy as with GOBI transfers and new DDA participants.
