Abstract:

Purpose – To argue for the consideration from an historical perspective of technology-enabled changes in higher education.

Design/methodology/approach – Uses examples from the author's history of JSTOR as a case study.

Findings – That the case of JSTOR offers evidence that technology-enabled changes in higher education will have historical interest.

Research limitations/implications – Although the author presents only examples from JSTOR, historians should begin to give attention to the overall changes taking place in scholarly communications and higher education.

Practical implications – Suggests further areas of research for historians, information scientists, and graduate students.

Originality/value – This work should be of interest to library and information professionals, business historians, and perhaps economic historians interested in the information industries.
