JSTOR News for October now Available

Dear Colleague -

Good day. I want to let you know that the October issue of JSTORNEWS
is now available on the JSTOR web pages at http://www.jstor.org/news/index.html. This
issue includes articles about JSTOR's work to convert all the back issues of Science to
meet our updated specifications for content presentation; and the expansion of our work
with partners on the JSTOR XML gateway. I trust that you will find these of interest.
Please feel free to forward this message to any of your colleagues there who would be
interested in seeing JSTORNEWS now.

In addition, we are pleased to announce new content and a new name for the long-standing
General Science Collection. During 2006 we plan to begin adding what will be a total of
between ten and fifteen health science journals to this collection. Included among these
are Environmental Health Perspectives, Cancer Causes and Control, European Journal of
Epidemiology, Epidemiology and Infection, and Epidemiology. To reflect these additions,
the General Science Collection will be renamed "Health & General Sciences."

Further titles will be added to this collection over the next two years. Several titles
will have long, historical runs. Journals selected will be broadly relevant to research
in public health. This complements the growing set of titles in biostatistics, health
policy, and population studies JSTOR holds among its other collections.
The new titles will join the complete back runs of several prestigious scientific
journals, including Science, PNAS, and the Philosophical Transactions and Proceedings of
the Royal Society of London. These journals have been included in the JSTOR archive since
2000. They comprise a significant amount of content--more than 1.5 million pages and
300,000 full-text articles. The collection also has the greatest historical depth of any
JSTOR offering--pre-dating others by more than 150 years--with the inclusion of the
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London which began publishing in 1665.

JSTOR is delighted to archive these important titles for the more than 1,100 research
and educational institutions around the world participating in the General Science
Collection today, as well as for those institutions that intend to initiate participation
in this successor, the Health & General Sciences Collection.

A regularly updated list of upcoming titles for the Health & General Sciences Collection is available at
http://www.jstor.org/about/upcoming.journals.html

Please do not hesitate to contact me
if you have any questions about this or any of the JSTOR collections.
As always, we will be happy to hear your feedback.

With all best wishes,
Carol MacAdam
