JSTOR is well known for providing journal backfiles in digital form.
This year JSTOR has launched the Current Scholarship Program (CSP) and now provides access to the latest issues of journals from a group of university presses, scholarly associations, and other publishers. We have individual subscriptions to 50 journals in this progam. Most of our titles are University of California and University of Chicago Press publications.
An example of one of our subscriptions is:
Condor (Los Angeles, Calif.) (0010-5422)
from 01/01/1900 to 30/11/2007 in JSTOR Biological Sciences Archive Collection
from 01/02/2001 to present in JSTOR Complete Current Scholarship Collection
For this title we have access to the backfiles because we have a subscription to the Biological Sciences Archive Collection, and we have current access because we have an individual subscription.
