Roger C. Schonfeld is the managing director for JSTOR Stewardship. Launched in 2025, JSTOR Stewardship is a service through which libraries can manage, preserve, and provide access to their archives and special collections, with transformative opportunities to accelerate their collections processing productivity and to increase their collections’ usage and impact.  Roger is also responsible for ITHAKA’s organizational strategy. He currently serves as a board member for the Center for Research Libraries and writes for the Scholarly Kitchen. He has degrees in English literature and library and information science from Yale and Syracuse universities.

Previously, Roger was vice president of Ithaka S+R where he developed research and advisory programs that helped libraries and publishers transform their service offerings based on the needs of users and changes in the information marketplace. Roger is an author of the recent Ithaka S+R report on “The Second Digital Transformation of Scholarly Publishing: Strategic Context and Shared Infrastructure.” With Deanna Marcum, he wrote Along Came Google: A History of Library Digitization (Princeton University Press, 2021), examining structural impediments to digital strategy and the role of an outside catalyst in fostering digitization among research libraries. He also wrote JSTOR: A History (Princeton, 2003), focusing on the development of a sustainable not-for-profit initiative for the digitization and preservation of scholarly texts.
