Hypermedia Online Publishing: the Transformation of the Scholarly Journal

8.6.4 Products

Project Muse provides access to the full text of over 40 of the Press's scholarly journals (but not complete runs of each journal) in the humanities, the social sciences, and mathematics. About 3 to 4 outside journals will be added each year from now on. Most of these journals are published in print as well but some are electronic only. No matter what category the journal belongs to, all titles provide:

"Hypertext links in the tables of contents, endnotes, author biographies, and illustrations
Text designed for on-screen reading and easy printing
Boolean searches of either the full text or author/title/keywords from the tables of contents
Subject indexing of each article using Library of Congress subject headings
Illustrations that are both larger than those in the print version and often in color
Subject, title, and author indexes
Option to create online reference 'shelves' or electronic syllabi
Ability to print individual articles 'on demand'
Earlier availability than print edition" [Muse, 1997]

Project Muse prefers to provide access through consortia of universities. This reduces the administrative overheads for the project and enables them to provide discounts to the consortium members. Some of the Muse licences are for single universities, and from the end of 1997 they began supporting individual user subscriptions.
