Project MUSE is excited to announce a flexible and cost-effective new way to acquire scholarly books on the platform. Project MUSE Books Custom Collections [2] [2]offer ultimate choice – libraries may design a targeted collection by filtering our 70,000+ available titles on criteria such as subject, publisher, and publication date, or may more closely curate a collection by making individual title selections. Instantly gain resources to support a new program/major, easily add electronic access for existing print holdings, or quickly address course needs with a collection tailored to instructor requests.
The MUSE platform offers books from nearly 200 respected university presses, scholarly societies, and related not-for-profit publishers [3], across a wide range of humanities and social science disciplines. All titles are DRM-free, with unlimited simultaneous use, downloading, and printing, making them ideal for both research and class use.
[From the vendor]
Frontlist collections include a guaranteed minimum number of titles, but may include more. EBooks are provided with no DRM. Once a library acquires titles through this program, they retain access to them perpetually, with no access fees. See https://about.muse.jhu.edu/librarians/book-products/#frontlist [4] for more information
Usage statistics can be accessed from the Project MUSE administrative portal [6].
