Project MUSE celebrates fifteen years, welcomes new titles and
publishers,
adds more archives


Project MUSE kicks off its fifteenth year of providing libraries with the
best humanities and social science content from the not-for-profit
publishing community by welcoming ten new participating publishers. To
date, twenty new titles are confirmed for inclusion in the Project MUSE
electronic journal collections for the 2011 subscription term. MUSE also
continues to grow its archival coverage for many participating journals.
Project MUSE pricing for 2011 has also been finalized.

Publishers new to MUSE for 2011 include the Society of Biblical
Literature, the Society for the Advancement of Scandinavian Study, the
Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association, and the National Association
of Professors of Hebrew, among others. Eight of MUSE’s long-time
participating publishers, including the Duke University Press, Indiana
University Press, University of Illinois Press, and University of North
Carolina Press, are contributing new journal titles to the MUSE
collections. In addition to the twenty currently confirmed new titles (see
list below), approximately ten further titles are expected to join MUSE
for 2011, and will be announced shortly.

The 2011 additions supplement a collection now offering current and
archival content from over 450 respected, peer-reviewed journals. MUSE
recently announced the inclusion of 14 additional titles to come online
during the current 2010 subscription term (see details at
http://bit.ly/96Dhyi). MUSE now partners with
more than 100 not-for-profit
university presses, scholarly societies, and other independent publishers
to make their content available digitally through our several
interdisciplinary collections.

Project MUSE’s initiative to incorporate back issues from many
participating journals continues to grow. With the release of back issue
content from six more titles in late June, there are now more than 60
journals offering complete archival coverage, from the first volume and
issue, in MUSE. Nearly 100 titles have committed to participate in the
MUSE back issues program to date, and all archival content will be made
available to current subscribers to applicable titles at no additional
charge.

In recognition of the continuing effects of the economic climate on our
subscribing libraries, MUSE is once again moderating price increases for
2011 while incorporating new content into all collections. Rates for
MUSE’s Premium Collection, a comprehensive, growth-oriented collection
that includes all new titles added to MUSE each year, will increase by 6%.
Prices for the MUSE Standard and Humanities Collections will increase by
4%, while the Basic Research and Basic College collections will see
increases of 2%. There will be no price increase for the MUSE Social
Sciences Collection. Complete 2011 pricing and collection information will
be posted on the MUSE web site by early August.
