JSTOR was established as an independent not-for-profit organization in August 1995 and began as an effort to ease the increasing problems faced by libraries seeking to provide adequate stack space for the long runs of backfiles of scholarly journals. The basic idea was to convert the back issues of paper journals into electronic formats. JSTOR offers both multidisciplinary and discipline-specific collections. In the broadest sense, JSTOR's mission is to help the scholarly community take advantage of advances in information technologies. The Arts & Sciences collections represent the building blocks of a single interdisciplinary archive of over 600 journals in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. Now the total number of participant libraries in JSTOR are 1941 from different countries. Within that 97,128 online issues and 23,83,950 online articles are availbale.
