JSTOR Forum Becomes JSTOR Digital Stewardship Services
JSTOR Forum, the backend tool used by library staff to host, catalog, and publish archival collections (primarily image collections) to the JSTOR platform has upgraded to the new platform: JSTOR Digital Stewardship Services. This resource is used by staff at 9 campuses (all except for UCSF) and CDL.
Dual access at both platforms began on November 20, 2025, and will continue at least through January 16, 2025. Library staff can work with and manage their collections through either platform, and changes will appear through either account. It is recommended that staff use this time to try out the new platform and test your workflows and features you would normally use. Account access will work through either platform.
