CCL is not offering ARTstor or JSTOR at this time because the vendor pricing policy does not allow a consortium discount. With our handling fee added we would have been offering the product at a higher cost than if libraries went directly through the vendor.

The reviews to the right contain pricing information for Community Colleges.

ARTstor (http://www.artstor.org) is a large and expanding resource of digital images and data for teaching and research in art history, in the humanities and other disciplines. ARTstor documents artistic traditions across many times and cultures and embraces architecture, painting, sculpture, photography, decorative arts, and design as well as many other forms of visual culture. For more information on what is in ARTstor please see http://www.artstor.org/info/collections/whats_in_artstor.jsp.The ARTstor charter collection currently consists of approximately 300,000 images and is expected to contain 500,000 images by July 2006.

JSTOR (http://www.jstor.org), a not-for-profit organization was originally conceived as a project at the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and is not a current issues database. It provides access and searchable text files to an archive of over of 497 academic journals in 12 collections. JSTOR, in selecting titles, looks for recommendations from experts in the discipline, citation analysis, high-subscription base by institutions, and length of time a journal has been published.
