JSTOR Announces Free Access to 500K Public Domain Journal Articles; Library Journal, 9/7/11

David Rapp, Library Journal; JSTOR Announces Free Access to 500K Public Domain Journal Articles:

"The JSTOR journal archive announced today that it is making nearly 500,000 public domain journal articles from more than 220 journals—or about six percent of JSTOR's total content—freely available for use by "anyone, without registration and regardless of institutional affiliation."

The material, entitled Early Journal Content, will be rolled out in batches starting today over the course of one week. It includes content published in the United States before 1923 and international content published before 1870, which ensures that all the content is firmly in the public domain."
