The UFV Library is participating in a program to purchase Books at JSTOR through "Demand Driven Acquisition" (DDA). JSTOR e-books are provided by over 85 different university and society publishers.
What is DDA?
DDA is a method of purchasing items with a known demand or interest. JSTOR e-book purchases are triggered on the sixth chapter view or the fourth chapter download.
Advantages of DDA
Short-Term Loans

The JSTOR collection that UFV has activated currently includes over 12,000 books in all subject areas, provided by a wide range of university and scholarly society publishers. Publishers include Princeton University Press, Yale University Press, University of Toronto Press and McGill-Queen's University press. JSTOR Books included in our catalogue have been limited to a maximum purchase price of $175.00 before the discount (35%).

The JSTOR collection is strong in the disciplines of history, language and literature, political science, sociology, philosophy, religion, anthropology, law, business and film studies.
