Project MUSE
Project MUSE is a
unique collaboration between libraries and publishers, providing100%
full-text, affordable and user-friendly online access to
a comprehensive selection of prestigious humanities and social sciences
journals. MUSE's online journals are heavily indexed and peer-reviewed,
with critically acclaimed articles by the most respected scholars in
their fields. Currently, MUSE provides full-text access to current
content from over 400 titles representing nearly 100
not-for-profit publishers.
Our subscription license was designed with
librarians, for librarians. The MUSE license allows unlimited access,
interlibrary loan, content linking for e-reserves and includes remote
users. We provide COUNTER-compliant statistics so that libraries can
evaluate their use of MUSE. Subscribers "own" MUSE content, even if they
do not renew their subscription. Libraries are not required to maintain
print subscriptions to the journals in our collection.
MUSE subscriptions enable libraries to enhance their collections with a
variety of journals they may not otherwise have been able to acquire.
Compared to other full-text online journal collections, the MUSE price
per journal title is extremely reasonable. Humanities and social
sciences collections allow libraries with specialized needs to acquire a
set of key journals.
Project MUSE
Project MUSE offers
subscription access to journals, which are made available to libraries
in six collections, each designed to meet specific needs and budgets
|
Premium Collection
The Premium
Collection is MUSE's foremost collection
of high quality, peer reviewed,
interdisciplinary journals from leading
university presses, not-for-profit
publishers and prestigious scholarly
societies. All journals available on the
MUSE platform are included in a
subscription to the Premium Collection.
The Premium Collection is designed for
institutions acquiring comprehensively
in the humanities and social sciences.
The Premium Collection will grow
annually and all new titles added each
year to MUSE become part of the Premium
Collection, making it the most
comprehensive collection offered by
MUSE.

Standard Collection
The Standard Collection is a subset of
the Premium Collection. This collection
offers institutions the
interdisciplinary content consistent
with their collection development needs
yet ensures controlled annual growth.
New titles may be added selectively each
year to the Standard Collection in order
to maintain conservative growth from
year to year.

Basic
Research Collection
The Basic Research
Collection is a more limited subset of
the Premium Collection than the Standard
Collection. The Basic Research
Collection is a fundamental collection
of interdisciplinary journals that grows
modestly in size and price from year to
year. The controlled number of journals,
modest growth and modest price increases
make the Basic Research Collection an
appropriate collection for institutions
with limited budgets.

Basic
College Collection
The Basic College
Collection is the smallest
interdisciplinary subset of the Premium
Collection and is designed for four and
two year colleges acquiring selectively
in the humanities and social sciences.

and price from year to year.

quality, peer reviewed journals designed
for institutions acquiring extensively
in the humanities. This collection

year, the best of those with a clear
humanities focus are added to the
Humanities Collection.

of special libraries such as thinktanks,
government agencies, non-governmental
