Project Muse: New Platform (19 . 12 . 2011)
Project
MUSE's newly redesigned platform to include books along with its journals will
go live on January 1, 2012. A preview of the new platform is available on our beta site. At the launch of the new platform, over 14,000
books will be available alongside MUSE's more than 500 electronic journals*.
Highlights
of the new Project MUSE platform include:
- Faceted searching
- Enhanced browsing by subject
area, title, or publisher, across books and journals
- Hierarchical subject structure,
allowing users to drill down to the most relevant content
- Search box on each page, with
predictive search terms
- New access icons that show users
content they have access to, free sample content, and open access content
- "Search Inside..." feature for
both books and journals
- DOIs at title and chapter level
for books, article level for journals
*Currently IReL subscribes to the journals collection
