[Eril-l] JSTOR Access in Prison Update

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

Dear Colleagues,

In 2019, JSTOR began ramping up our work to provide access to incarcerated learners, offering them the same educational resources as their student counterparts on the outside.  Over time, we've found that JSTOR is valuable not only to those enrolled in Higher Education in Prison programs but to the broader population. Today, we're pleased to share the news that JSTOR Access in Prison<https://about.jstor.org/jstor-access-in-prison/> now reaches over one million incarcerated people.  This is a significant milestone and the broader community of librarians, publishers, faculty members, and justice advocates have been instrumental in making this possible.

We invite you to read JSTOR Access in Prison passes million-user threshold<https://about.jstor.org/news/jstor-access-in-prison-passes-million-user-threshold/> which calls out recent arrangements with the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the Arizona Department of Corrections to provide access to thousands of people as well as some of the personal impacts we've heard from learners about how JSTOR has helped them.

To learn more or connect an HEP or facility to JSTOR, please reach out to Stacy Burnett<mailto:stacy.burnett at ithaka.org> who leads our work to serve these learners.

Best,

Heidi
