Getting started with Books at JSTOR

Account management

JSTOR provides site administrators with various notifications and reports to help manage each acquisition model for books. The automated notifications described below are sent to the registered administrators at each institution/organization. If you have questions about Books at JSTOR account management or about receiving these notifications, please contact JSTOR Support. 

Title by title/Subject collection purchases

  • If you have purchased books that are not yet available on the JSTOR platform, we will automatically turn on access when those books are released.
  • If you purchased titles through GOBI Library Solutions, you will receive the free OCLC MARC records if you opted in when you set up your account. 

Evidence-based Acquisition (EBA)

  • Titles are added to EBA throughout the year as publishers join the program or add backlist titles to JSTOR.
  • Each year in January, we add titles from participating presses with a copyright date of three years ago. (For example, in 2024 we added books with a copyright date of 2021.)
  • Occasionally, ebooks are removed from the EBA title set due to rights issues or conversion to an Open Access model.
  • You will automatically receive updates to MARC records or discovery service collections as titles are added or removed.

Interlibrary loan

Books at JSTOR allows interlibrary loan for book chapters. Please view the Terms and Conditions for details.
