Project MUSE is a unique collaboration between libraries and publishers providing 100% full-text, affordable and user-friendly online access to over 300 high quality humanities, arts, and social sciences journals from 60+ scholarly publishers.

Pricing for Muse is based on institutional criteria and the desired Project Muse package.

Features

  • MUSE is the sole source of complete, full-text versions of titles from many of the world's leading university presses and scholarly societies.
  • The complete content of each and every issue is online—including all charts, graphics and images -- with articles available in HTML, PDF, or both formats.
  • To supplement current issues, MUSE subscribers have free access to a decade of backfiles for selected titles. And, the MUSE version is typically online before the print version hits the streets.
  • Permanent archiving and preservation strategy, including participation in LOCKSS, maintenance of several off-site mirror servers, and deposition of MUSE content into third-party archives.
  • Subscribers "own" MUSE content, even if they don't renew their subscription. Paid-for content may be downloaded or provided on disk at no charge.
  • The MUSE license allows unlimited access, interlibrary loan, content usage for e-reserves and includes remote users.
  • Article-level URLs are stable, allowing for direct linking from online syllabi and electronic reading lists.
  • COUNTER-compliant statistics so that libraries can evaluate their use of MUSE.
  • Many popular indexing/abstracting services and e-journal gateways, as well as JSTOR, are seamlessly linked to MUSE content.
