TOOLS & TIPS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Article Summaries
Articles now include summaries (abstracts). Look for the link to the summary on a journal’s Table of Contents and in Search Results, next to the HTML and PDF viewing options. Summaries allow faster scanning of an article’s contents and of search results.
* Search This Journal
You can now search all issues of a MUSE journal for a particular subject. ‘Search This Journal’ search box (on a journal homepage) helps you locate articles on a particular topic within all issues of a specific journal.
* More Like This
Links automatically to articles similar in subject to the article you are reading. When you find an article in MUSE relevant to your research this feature includes links to other articles in MUSE related in subject. Look for the “More Like This” on the right side navigation bar on MUSE articles. It is a great tool for quickly locating additional articles related to your research topic.
* Custom Print
Custom Print, a service from Sheridan Press for institutional subscribers, allows you to click on a link from MUSE and purchase an article or groups of articles for the purpose of creating a custom publication. MUSE is one of the first online providers to activate this service. Right now articles in ‘'The American Indian Quarterly', University of Nebraska Press, are the only articles for which this option is available. On the article page, look for the link 'Custom Print' to initiate the transaction.
* New Promotional Materials
Check out the new materials available for promoting MUSE use at your institution. MUSE offers posters, bookmarks, and brochures (new) for use in instruction sessions or for outreach with faculty. Order materials at http://muse.jhu.edu/about/ml/librarians/request_promo_materials.html.
* Links to JSTOR
MUSE added links to the back issues of 16 journals in JSTOR. MUSE now links to back issues of over 40 journals available in both Project MUSE and JSTOR.
It is easy for users to include the JSTOR backfiles in their MUSE search. Just check the box, Include JSTOR back issues, on the MUSE search page to search the common titles in JSTOR. This mutual search capability is only available for those journals that have a complete run between Project MUSE and JSTOR. The complete list of titles available for searching from MUSE is listed on http://muse.jhu.edu/about/ml/muse/backissues.html.

TOOLS & TIPS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* New promotional material
MUSE unveiled new promotional bookmarks at the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Denver. The series of bookmarks illustrate subjects discussed in MUSE journals. Use them in your outreach efforts with faculty or include them in orientation packets to increase awareness of subjects covered in MUSE journals. Request a supply using the online Request Promotional Materials form under the Librarians tab on the MUSE website, http://muse.jhu.edu/content/ml/about/librarians/request_promo_materials.html.
* Twitter
MUSE is on Twitter. Follow us!
* Vodcast
Take a look at MUSE’s latest research tool: a vodcast titled "Research MUSEings Vodcasts: Discovering Linked Subject Headings." It is a quick tutorial about the benefits of using MUSE's linked subject headings and a lighthearted approach to demystifying the concept of Library of Congress Subject Headings as they appear in MUSE.
How the vodcast may be useful:
- Users can learn, on their own, what subject headings are, where to find them in MUSE, and how
they help locate articles specific to a research topic.
- Librarians may find the vodcast useful as a supplement to instruction classes.
Find the vodcast at http://muse.jhu.edu/content/ml/about/resources/vodcasts.html.
* Access via Shibboleth
MUSE now supports Shibboleth access to the MUSE journal collections. Shibboleth:
- provides convenient single sign-on access to online resources provided by an institution
- enables an authenticated user to access online resources both on-campus and off-campus
- provides security and protects the privacy of the user.
To enable Shibboleth access for MUSE, submit a request to MUSE Customer Support, muse@press.jhu.edu, and include your Shibboleth Identity Provider ID.
