Dear Colleague,
JSTOR is one of the most heavily used and widely respected research and
teaching resources of scholarly peered reviewed journals world-wide. At
present more than 300 higher education institutions in India have access to
archived journal content and the participant base is rapidly growing. To
provide an opportunity to learn more about the Indian Higher Education
Community and for the community to learn about JSTOR, JSTOR will be holding
