Adding Books at JSTOR titles into our platform strengthens our position as the premier partner for libraries looking to simplify the selection and acquisition of eBook content.”

“JSTOR is committed to delivering great content to researchers–an objective shared by publishers and libraries,” said Frank Smith, Director of Books at JSTOR. “Making Books at JSTOR titles available to order directly via SwetsWise will make it easier to locate and purchase books of interest and make
them available to library  end users in an efficient manner that suits libraries’ internal workflows.”
