Project MUSE has signed contracts with 27 scholarly publishers to offer their upcoming monographs in the humanities and social sciences as part of ebook collections on the MUSE platform. Project MUSE is a collaboration between libraries and publishers, providing full-text, affordable and user-friendly online access to a comprehensive selection of prestigious humanities and social sciences journals.
MUSE is partnering with many of the same publishers that currently contribute content to its electronic scholarly journal collections for the programme. Among those participating in the e-book initiative are: University of Michigan Press, Columbia University Press, Georgetown University Press, Johns Hopkins University Press, Penn State University Press, University of Illinois Press, Duke University Press and the Indiana University Press.
The first collections of frontlist monographs will be offered for purchase in fall 2011. Subject-based collections as well as a comprehensive collection of all available titles will be offered. Pricing and book title details are expected to be announced by late March.
Book content will be seamlessly integrated with MUSE's existing journal content, allowing users to search and browse across formats and easily discover related scholarship. Books will be offered in PDF format, searchable and retrievable to the chapter level.
