Subject: Project MUSE News: MUSE Usage Statistics



Project MUSE wishes to alert customers to some recently-discovered issues related to usage statistics reporting in our COUNTER-compliant statistics system.

As a result of a software upgrade in September, we have discovered that searches were not properly reported in our October 2007 usage reports. Usage data was accurately recorded, and we have re-generated the October 2007 usage reports for all subscribers to represent the correct search statistics. If you retrieved your October 2007 statistics prior to December 13, 2007, please revisit our statistics site at http://stats.muse.jhu.edu/ to retrieve an updated, correct version of your usage report.

The cause of the incorrect reporting in the initial version of the October statistics has been rectified and usage reports for November 2007 forward should not be affected.

Also, a labeling error has been discovered in MUSE usage statistics reports dating to May 2006. In Database Report 1 and Database Report 3, the labels on the rows reporting sessions and searches were reversed; the row labeled “Sessions” contained the data for the number of searches, and the row labeled “Searches Run” contained the data for the number of sessions. This error has also been corrected, and updated reports with accurate labeling may be downloaded from our statistics site. Please be assured that the data in the reports was correct; only the labeling of the rows was affected.

MUSE apologizes for any inconvenience resulting from these issues with our statistics reports. We know usage statistics are important to our customers, as they are to us. Subscribers may be assured that there are no problems with the recording and reporting of full-text article usage. Any questions related to the information in this alert may be directed to Wendy Queen, Project MUSE Publishing Technologies Manager, at wendy@muse.jhu.edu.

Subject: TULSA STUDIES IN WOMEN'S LITERATURE DEBUTS IN PROJECT MUSE



TULSA STUDIES IN WOMEN'S LITERATURE DEBUTS IN PROJECT MUSE

** From The University of Tulsa

Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature

Tulsa Studies in Women’s Literature is a vital forum for the most current theoretical and literary debates in feminist studies. The journal publishes path-breaking literary, historicist, and theoretical work by both established and emerging scholars, including articles, notes, archival research, and reviews. TSWL’s unique focus developed from one of Germaine Greer’s primary concerns in founding it--“the rehabilitation of women’s literary history.” Published semiannually since 1982, TSWL is an unequalled archive for those with writing and research interests in women’s literature and feminist criticism; it was for some time the only academic journal in the world regularly publishing essays by major international scholars on women’s writing.

E-ISSN: 1936-1645

Subject: Project MUSE News: 2008 Prices, Titles and Collection Changes Announced



Project MUSE Announces New Journals, New Publishers and 2008 Subscription Prices

Project MUSE is pleased to announce that five new publishers and thirty new journals are confirmed to date for inclusion in its collections of humanities and social sciences journals for the 2008 subscription year. Also new for 2008, one collection has been renamed to better reflect the audience for which it is intended, and two collections have been revised to better meet the needs of the marketplace. Project MUSE 2008 pricing also has been confirmed for all collections.

MUSE is always pleased to welcome new publishers and among those confirmed to date for 2008 are The Feminist Press, Scriptorium Press, Friends Historical Association, IEEE Computer Society, and The University of North Texas.


New titles Added to Collections
Currently, thirty titles have been confirmed for inclusion in MUSE in 2008. A complete list of these journals is available at http://muse.jhu.edu/about/subscriptions/new_titles_2008.html. Additional titles are in negotiation and will be announced later in the summer. In total, MUSE expects to add between 30 and 35 journals for the upcoming subscription year. All new titles confirmed to date and those announced afterwards will be included in the Premium Collection. The Premium Collection is MUSE's foremost collection of high quality interdisciplinary journals offering comprehensive online content in the humanities and social sciences.

Selected titles, either new or currently offered, will also be added to three of MUSE’s existing collections: Standard Collection, Basic Research Collection, and Basic Undergraduate Collection. For 2008, MUSE is pleased to announce the following changes to each of the collections:

The Standard Collection, a subset of the Premium Collection, offers institutions a relatively stable collection of interdisciplinary journals. In 2008, the following journals are confirmed for addition to the Standard Collection: Classical World, ESQ: A Journal of the American Renaissance. Monatshefte, Renaissance Quarterly, and Women’s Studies Quarterly. A small number of additional titles will be announced by August.

The Basic Research Collection is a more limited subset of the Premium Collection than the Standard Collection. Titles chosen for this collection are based on a number of selective criteria developed by MUSE’s staff librarians. Current MUSE titles are reevaluated each year using these guidelines and journals meeting the criteria may move into the Basic Research Collection. In 2008, MUSE will enhance the Basic Research Collection with ten current titles: Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East; Global Environmental Politics; History & Memory; Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies; Native Plants Journal; Parergon; Perspectives on Science; Philosophy of Music Education Review; Rhetoric & Public Affairs, and Studies in American Indian Literatures.

The Basic Undergraduate Collection is the smallest interdisciplinary subset of the Premium Collection and is designed for four and two year colleges and markets outside the U.S. Effective with the 2008 subscription year, the collection will have a new name, Basic College Collection, which more aptly describes the audience and market for which it is intended. The focus of this collection is not changing. However, as with the Basic Research Collection, current MUSE titles may be added to the Basic College Collection when the titles meet certain selective criteria. In 2008, three current titles will move into the Basic College Collection: Criticism; Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal and Modern Drama.

The Project MUSE Arts and Humanities Collection and Social Sciences Collection have been reconfigured to sharpen the focus of the collections and better align them with the research needs of subscribing institutions. Complete details on the revised Humanities Collection and Social Sciences Collection will be available on the MUSE web site later this summer.


Titles Transitioning to Archive-Only
Occasionally, active MUSE journal titles will cease contributing new issues to the MUSE collections as a result of a variety of factors. For 2008, the following titles will enter archive-only status and no longer contribute current content to MUSE: Early Music, Essays in Criticism, Journal of the American Academy of Religion, Latin American Politics and Society, Pacific Science, Parliamentary History, Past & Present, Southwestern Historical Quarterly, and Steinbeck Studies. All back issue content will remain online and accessible to subscribers.


List Prices for 2008
MUSE continues to offer North American academic libraries a tiered, affordable pricing model for its six collections, allowing libraries of all sizes the opportunity to access the collection that best meets each institution’s mission and budget. The tiered model provides discounts off the list price based on Carnegie classification and relative usage. The list price for the 2008 Premium Collection is $30,800 for the nearly 375 titles included. The 2008 list price for the Standard Collection is $22,700. The Basic Research Collection is $19,100 for 2008 and the Basic College Collection is $11,000. The pricing reflects the growth in each of these collections, with over 30 new journals added to the Premium Collection and a limited number of titles moving into the other collections as described earlier. The reconfigured Humanities Collection has a list price of $12,100, and the revised Social Sciences Collection lists at $8,500. Complete 2008 North American academic pricing information for all MUSE collections is now available online at http://muse.jhu.edu/about/subscriptions/pricing_academic_2008.html. Non-academic libraries and those outside North America should contact muse@muse.jhu.edu for 2008 pricing details.MUSE collections offer superior value with complete full-text, no embargoes, high quality peer-reviewed titles, archival rights to all subscribed material, library-friendly usage policies, and access to selected back files at no additional charge.

MUSE was founded on the premise of offering quality scholarship via a sustainable model that meets the needs of both libraries and publishers. MUSE is committing to a cap on price increases for the next three years while at the same time introducing a new program of promoting titles that fall within its core subject areas. Determined by it’s highly selective criteria, MUSE will accept titles that are important in their fields yet may just be getting started or not widely known. The titles contain content that is timely and worthy of greater exposure and significantly, are offered to libraries through a model that is price neutral and does not increase the cost of a collection. Titles selected in this program will be added only to the Premium Collection. MUSE is committing to limit price increases on the Standard Collection, Basic Research Collection, and Basic College Collection to no more than 7% annually through the 2010 subscription term, and to cap increases on the price of the Premium Collection to no more than 12% for the same period.

A summary of the information contained in this announcement is available online at http://muse.jhu.edu/about/subscriptions/new_titles_2008.html. Additional details about Project MUSE’s 2008 collections and subscription options will be available on the MUSE website by August. Specifics about renewal pricing and subscription options will be sent to MUSE’s consortium partners later this summer. Institutions that subscribe via a consortium arrangement should inquire about their renewal options with their consortium offices.

Subject: Project MUSE News: Project MUSE Expands OpenURL Linking



Project MUSE now supports OpenURL 1.0 which provides linking for search results to journals for which no subscription exists. The expanded implementation of OpenURL is part of an ongoing effort by MUSE to provide more options for subscribers and their users. Now, when a user tries to retrieve a MUSE journal not subscribed to by their institution, the institution-supplied link on the turnaway page will point the user to alternative resources for the articles.

An institution must register with MUSE to enable the linking to their OpenURL-compliant linking servers. All institutions are encouraged to provide MUSE with a customized icon and message to display for the link to the institution’s linking server.

NOTE: Institutions that had previously registered with MUSE for OpenURL do not need to register again.

To register and enable links to your OpenURL-compliant linking server for citations retrieved in Project MUSE searches go to the online form Enable OpenURL Links that is found on the For Librarians page, http://muse.jhu.edu/about/librarians.

SEWANEE REVIEW DEBUTS IN PROJECT MUSE

***From The Johns Hopkins University Press:

Sewanee Review

Having never missed an issue in 114 years, the Sewanee Review is the oldest continuously published literary quarterly in the country. Begun in 1892 at the University of the South, it has stood as guardian and steward for the enduring voices of American, British, and Irish literature. Published quarterly (winter, spring, summer, fall), the Review is unique in the field of letters for its rich tradition of literary excellence in general nonfiction, poetry, and fiction, and for its dedication to unvarnished no-nonsense literary criticism. Each volume is a mix of short reviews, omnibus reviews, memoirs, essays in reminiscence and criticism, poetry, and fiction. Each issue coheres around a broad theme, such as Irish literature, southern letters, the literature of war, the modern Catholic novel, autobiography, and many other engaging topics. In this venerable journal you have the direct literary line to Flannery O'Connor, Robert Penn Warren, Hart Crane, Anne Sexton, Harry Crews, and Fred Chappell—not to mention, Andre Dubus and Cormac McCarthy, whose first stories were published in the Sewanee Review. Each issue is a brilliant seminar, an unforgettable dinner party, an all-night swap of stories and passionate stances. We invite you to subscribe to the Sewanee Review and explore the content that makes this magazine the most highly regarded of any literary quarterly in the world.

Project MUSE is pleased to announce that one additional title will join the list of titles previously announced for inclusion in the 2007 Premium Collection and the Arts and Humanities Collection: ‘Partial Answers: Journal of Literature and the History of Ideas’ published by the Johns Hopkins University Press. The first issue in MUSE will be Volume 5, Number 1. The print ISSN is 1565-3668. The e-ISSN is not yet available.

The addition of this title to the two collections does not affect the cost of either of those collections; it is being added at no additional charge. The list price of the collections as previously announced remains the same. A complete description of the collections and pricing options for 2007 is available on the MUSE website: http://muse.jhu.edu/about/subscriptions/subscriptions_2007.html.

For information purposes, the e-ISSN is 1538-9758 and the final issue in MUSE is Volume 31, 2006-2007. All issues previously published in MUSE will remain in the collection.

Progress in Community Health Partnerships: Research, Education, and Action

The mission of the Journal is to facilitate dissemination of programs that use community partnerships to improve public health, to promote progress in the methods of research and education involving community health partnerships, and to stimulate action that will improve the health of people in communities. Communities, as defined by the Journal, may be based on geography, shared interests, or social networks. The Journal is dedicated to supporting the work of community health partnerships that involve ongoing collaboration between community representatives and academic or governmental partners. This area of research and evaluation may be referred to as community-based participatory research (CBPR). The W. K. Kellogg Foundation defines CBPR as a collaborative approach to research that equitably involves all partners in the research process and recognizes the unique strengths that each brings. CBPR begins with a research topic of importance to the community and has the aim of combining knowledge with action and achieving social change to improve health outcomes and eliminate health disparities.
