Subject: Project MUSE News: Project MUSE Access via Shibboleth

Project MUSE Access Available via Shibboleth

Project MUSE is pleased to announce that it now supports Shibboleth access to the MUSE journal collections.

Shibboleth provides users the ease and convenience of single sign-on access to online resources provided by their institution. The single sign-on method of Shibboleth enables an authenticated user to access online resources both on-campus and off-campus. For institutions, Shibboleth provides security and protects the privacy of the user.

To enable Shibboleth access now for your institution, submit a request to MUSE Customer Support and include your Shibboleth Identity Provider ID. In addition to Shibboleth, MUSE offers libraries and institutions access to its online collections via IP address, referring URL, and Athens. A subscribing library may request access by any of the four methods when placing a subscription order or by sending a request to Customer Support. Athens customers in the USA and UK can now move to OpenAthens if they so desire. Existing Athens customers that have an Athens ID on file with Project MUSE do *not* need to register that change with MUSE.

The Shibboleth login process for accessing MUSE full-text content is simple. On the MUSE website, users click on the link to login and then select their institution from the list of institutions registered to access MUSE through Shibboleth. Once the user is authenticated through their institution, they have access to the full-text articles. An institution registered to access MUSE through Shibboleth must belong to a federation. Currently, MUSE supports two federations, InCommon (USA) and UK Access Management Federation for Education and Research. Others may be added depending upon interest from subscribing libraries.

Shibboleth is available only for institutional subscribers of MUSE and can be used to access MUSE collections as well as single titles on the MUSE platform.

Currently, Shibboleth will only be supported on the MUSE U.S. server at http://muse.jhu.edu. We hope to implement it on our mirror site at http://muse.uq.edu.au in the near future.

MUSE is excited that Shibboleth access offers users at registered institutions the ability to search MUSE from any location where they have internet access. Questions about the MUSE implementation of Shibboleth, may be sent to MUSE Customer Support at muse@press.jhu.edu.

Subject: FUTURE ANTERIOR DEBUTS IN PROJECT MUSE

** From the University of Minnesota Press

Future Anterior

An international point of reference for the critical examination of historic preservation.
Future Anterior approaches historic preservation from a position of critical inquiry, rigorous scholarship, and theoretical analysis. The journal is an important international forum for the critical examination of historic preservation, spurring challenges of its assumptions, goals, methods, and results. As the first and only journal in American academia devoted to the study and advancement of historic preservation, it provides a much-need bridge between architecture and history. The journal also features provocative theoretical reflections on historic preservation from the point of view of art, philosophy, law, geography, archeaology, planning, materials science, cultural anthropology, and conservation. Future Anterior is essential reading for anyone interested in historic preservation and its role in current cultural debates.

Subject: Project MUSE News: MUSE launches new web interface

Project MUSE launches new web interface; enhanced features aid discovery and navigation

Project MUSE is pleased to announce the release of a new web interface, enhanced with many features to aid ease of navigation, expand discovery, and encourage deeper interaction with the wealth of scholarly content offered by MUSE.

Online now at http://muse.jhu.edu, the new site design offers several new tools and resources for scholars, librarians, and publishers. MUSE offers full text access to current content from nearly 400 high quality journals in the humanities and social sciences, from some 100 not-for-profit publishers, and the web site’s improved features will help users find, utilize and share this content more readily and efficiently.

A highlight of MUSE’s new web site is wider range of functionality at the individual journal article level, including the ability to email a link, find more articles from the same author(s), and share the article via popular social bookmarking services. Color indicators allow users to easily determine to which content they have full text access, at both the journal and article level.

Improved navigation in the site’s informational pages makes it easier for researchers, librarians, and publishers to access tools such as training guides, usage statistics, journal holdings information, and technical documentation. A new search feature also offers the ability to search only the informational pages, to quickly locate key details such as pricing, upcoming journal additions, or supported technologies. An entirely new section is dedicated to information for current and prospective publishers of journals in MUSE.

Additional features are planned to further enhance the new web interface. During the fall and winter, users will begin to see reference linking and a “Related Articles”list at the journal article level, and a new cover sheet with functionality comparable to the HTML articles will be added to the PDF versions. MUSE also expects to implement the SUSHI (Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative) technology shortly, and is seeking library testing partners for this feature. Libraries interested in participating in SUSHI testing should contact us at muse@press.jhu.edu.

The Project MUSE web site will continue to evolve to meet the changing needs of our users, customers, and business partners. We welcome feedback, comments and questions at muse@press.jhu.edu.

Subject: Project MUSE News: New web interface coming soon!

Project MUSE to soon launch new web site interface

As has been previously announced, Project MUSE is preparing to unveil a new web site design, developed to ease navigation, increase discovery, and improve the user experience for researchers, librarians, and publishers. We received an overwhelmingly positive reaction and much helpful feedback during previews of the new design at the ALA conference in June, and are pleased to announce that the release of the new interface is imminent.

The launch of the new MUSE interface at http://muse.jhu.edu is expected to occur within a week. The new site design features enhanced informational sections and improved navigation and layout. Subscriber access should not be at all affected by the rollout of the new design; the changes are to the navigation, functionality, and appearance of the web site, not to access or authentication systems. Searches of MUSE content utilizing our search engine will work much as they currently do, with a more user-friendly design and some additional search limiters available to users.

A further announcement will be sent upon the actual launch of the new site interface. Please direct any questions to muse@press.jhu.edu.

Subject: Project MUSE News: New titles, prices confirmed for 2009; web redesign to launch in August

Project MUSE announces new titles, prices for 2009; web redesign to launch later this summer

Project MUSE is pleased to announce that over 30 new titles have been confirmed to date for addition to its online journal collections in 2009. Among the new publishers contributing content to MUSE are the Liverpool University Press, The Western Literature Association, and The New Chaucer Society. List pricing for the journal collections for 2009 is also now available.

At the recent American Library Association conference, MUSE also previewed screen shots of a new web site design that will launch this August. The new interface offers enhanced functionality at the journal article level, additional tools for locating relevant content in MUSE, and easier navigation of the site’s informational pages, along with an attractive new layout.

New Titles for 2009

The journals joining MUSE in 2009 enhance its offerings in Asian studies, Women's studies, African-American studies, Latin American studies, Iberian studies, higher education, literature, and public policy, among others. Highlights of the journals joining the MUSE collections include African-American Review, Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies, The Bulletin of Hispanic Studies, Western American Literature, International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics, and Anthropological Linguistics. (Please see below for a complete list of titles confirmed to date.) Further additions will be announced later this summer.

Many current MUSE participating publishers continue to contribute additional journal titles; for 2009, the University of Toronto Press is adding five titles, and the Indiana University Press, University of Hawaii Press, and University of Nebraska Press are adding two titles each. Other current publishers contributing new journals to MUSE include the Catholic University of America Press, Purdue University Press, Texas Tech University Press, University of Illinois Press, and University of Pennsylvania Press.

All journals joining MUSE for 2009 will be included in the Premium Collection, MUSE's flagship online journal offering. The MUSE Standard Collection, a subset of the Premium Collection, offers libraries a relatively stable collection of interdisciplinary titles, with modest annual growth. The following titles have also been selected for addition to the Standard Collection for 2009: African American Review, French Studies: A Quarterly Review, Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies, Journal of Canadian Studies, Library Trends, and Western American Literature. Further additions to the Standard Collection, as well as additions to the Basic Research, Basic College, Humanities, and Social Science collections, will be announced later this summer.

Pricing for 2009

List prices for the six MUSE online journal collections for 2009 have also been confirmed. Beginning with 2008, MUSE committed for a three-year period to caps on price increases of 12% on the Premium Collection and 7% for all other collections; 2009 pricing reflects these caps. Project MUSE continues to offer a model of tiered discounts on these rates based upon institutional Carnegie classification and relative usage for North America, and on World Bank country income classes and institutional programming for the rest of the world. Details regarding 2009 institutional renewals will be distributed to current subscribers and consortium affiliates in August and September; libraries that subscribe via a consortial arrangement should inquire about renewal options with their consortium offices.

As occasionally happens, some journals will cease contributing new content to MUSE as of 2009 due to changes in their print publishers.

Subject: Project MUSE News: MUSE introduces linked subject headings

Project MUSE introduces linked subject headings

Users of Project MUSE articles and Tables of Contents in our recently-launched new format may have noticed an additional feature - "clickable" subject headings for each article, allowing fast and easy connections to related content in Project MUSE. Built upon the rich controlled vocabulary classification of all MUSE articles and reviews with Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) by our in-house professional cataloging staff, this new functionality quickly connects scholars to additional relevant content to enhance their research.

Linked subject headings are a powerful discovery tool for users. Following a subject heading link brings the user to an alphabetical listing of all current subject headings utilized for MUSE articles, with the selected heading as the entry point in the list. The researcher may then view additional articles that share the same subject heading, or peruse further articles with related headings. The list of subject headings is annotated with the current number of MUSE articles and reviews to which that heading is assigned.

One of the many benefits of the linked subject headings is the ability to refine a research topic when articles with a more specific focus are needed. Conversely, the linked subject headings can guide a user to articles with a broader approach when the assignment requires a more general discussion of the research topic.

MUSE has always assigned LC subject headings to articles to help users identify the topics discussed within an article and in turn, to select articles most suitable to their research. Now, by simply clicking on a subject heading, users can move from subject to subject, article to article, exploring topics and articles related to their search topic.

All MUSE articles and Tables of Contents produced since mid-April 2008 offer the new linked subject headings functionality; as older content is converted to the new format, the feature will also become available for archival articles, reviews, and Tables of Contents. Please direct any questions or comments about MUSE's linked subject headings to Customer Support at muse@press.jhu.edu.

Subject: Project MUSE News: New look for MUSE articles coming soon

Project MUSE plans new look for web site; new article format launching in April

Project MUSE is pleased to reveal plans for a significant redesign of its web presence at http://muse.jhu.edu. The launch date for the new site design is August 2008; preliminary screens and more information will be shared at the American Library Association's annual conference in Anaheim, CA, in late June. Among the goals of the redesign are more intuitive navigation among and within both content and informational pages, compatibility with emerging web standards, support for selected Web 2.0 functionality, and an enhanced online experience for users and librarians utilizing MUSE in teaching and research.

Prior to the main site redesign launch in August, some new features will be rolled out in the intervening months. Specifically, some MUSE journal articles will begin appearing in a new format during the month of April. The appearance and layout of the article page have been enhanced to provide users with more functionality and more information specific to the article, such as its DOI and the LCSH (Library of Congress Subject Headings) assigned to an article.

Initially, the new design will apply only to newly-produced journal issues/articles; older articles will be gradually converted to the new look over the next 18 months. As conversion of back articles progresses, users may see both old and new formats for articles in their search results. Currently, the new format applies only to the HTML version of articles; a new PDF format will launch with the main site design in August. The advance launch of the new article design is happening in part to coincide with a new XML production process at MUSE, which is expected to increase efficiency and create opportunities for expanded functionality.

Please "pardon our dust" as we begin the process of enhancing and improving our web presence. We welcome comments, questions, and feedback to muse@press.jhu.edu.

Twentieth-Century China

Twentieth-Century China (ISSN 1521-5385) is a refereed biannual scholarly journal with issues appearing in November and April. Published by The Ohio State University Press, the journal's chief editor is Christopher A. Reed of The Ohio State University's Department of History. The journal publishes original scholarly contributions that set forth innovative research and methodologies engaging significant historiographic or interpretive issues regarding China's long twentieth century as seen through the mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, or diasporic activities. It also encourages comparative empirical and/or theoretical studies that are rooted in Chinese experience but touch on non-China-related issues. In addition, the journal also seeks to provide a forum for research notes, scholarly conferences, project announcements, and similar activities that promote the academic pursuits of the journal's readers around the world. Twentieth-Century China originated in 1975 as a newsletter, The Chinese Republican Studies Newsletter, issued by Lloyd Eastman, one of the American luminaries of Republican Chinese history. Eastman was also the journal's founding editor, bringing out in 1983 the first issue of what was then called Republican China (ISSN 0893-2344). In 1997, reflecting the growing trend among historians and historically oriented social scientists to emphasize the historical continuities in China's twentieth-century experience (rather than adhering to the somewhat artificial categories of "Republican" and "People's Republic" history), editor Steve Averill persuaded the board to rename the journal Twentieth-Century China.

Journal for the Study of Radicalism

The Journal for the Study of Radicalism engages in serious, scholarly exploration of the forms, representations, meanings, and historical influences of radical social movements. With sensitivity and openness to historical and cultural contexts of the term, we loosely define “radical,” as distinguished from “reformers,” to mean groups who seek revolutionary alternatives to hegemonic social and political institutions, and who use violent or non-violent means to resist authority and to bring about change. The journal is eclectic, without dogma or strict political agenda, and ranges broadly across social and political groups worldwide, whether typically defined as “left” or “right.” We expect contributors to come from a wide range of fields and disciplines, including ethnography, sociology, political science, literature, history, philosophy, critical media studies, literary studies, religious studies, psychology, women’s studies, and critical race studies. We especially welcome articles that reconceptualize definitions and theories of radicalism, feature underrepresented radical groups, and introduce new topics and methods of study.

Subject: Project MUSE News: Title List Change for 2008

Project MUSE is pleased to announce that one additional title will join the list of titles previously announced for inclusion in the 2008 Premium Collection and Standard Collection: "Transition" published by the Indiana University Press. 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 publisher describes "Transition" as an international review of politics, culture, and ethnicity from Beijing to Bujumbura and is edited at the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research at Harvard University.

The journal is currently an archive title in the Premium Collection and the Standard Collection. MUSE will relaunch the title in 2008 beginning with Number 98. Existing MUSE past issues of this journal, volumes 9(2000)-10(2001), remain available in both the Premium and Standard collections. There are no plans to fill in the gaps between coverage years in MUSE due to image matters with the back issues.

Complete 2008 North American academic pricing information for all MUSE collections is available at http://muse.jhu.edu/about/subscriptions/pricing_academic_2008.html.

Questions about the collections and pricing may be sent to MUSE Customer Service at muse@muse.jhu.edu.

Subject: Project MUSE News: Project MUSE Awarded KnowledgeWorks Certification

Project MUSE is very pleased to announce that it has been awarded the designation 'KnowledgeWorks Certified' by long time partner Serials Solutions. MUSE is among the first content providers to receive this new designation that was created by Serials Solutions to acknowledge content providers and publishers with whom they have developed the best possible working relationships.

Serials Solutions unveiled this new program at the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Philadelphia where MUSE proudly displayed the certification at the MUSE booth.

MUSE has partnered with Serials Solutions for many years to provide mutual customers with access to MUSE bibliographic metadata and content. MUSE easily met all the criteria for the new certification, which included requirements such as ability to provide periodically updated title lists, specific bibliographic data, and direct delivery of the data to Serials Solutions in an agreed upon format. Mutual customers of Project MUSE and Serials Solutions will benefit directly from this formal recognition of the ongoing sharing and delivery of data between the two. The continuing collaboration between MUSE and Serials Solutions assures librarians that they will receive high quality bibliographic data for their Project MUSE collection and the best possible access to the collection.

Questions about this announcement may be referred to MUSE Customer Service at muse@muse.jhu.edu.

Subject: Project MUSE News: Back Issues Pilot Program

Project MUSE recently added the full range of back issues of two of its long-held journals, "Journal of the History of Philosophy" and "Journal of Democracy." These back issues were added to the MUSE collections at no additional charge to subscribers.

The addition of the back issues of these two journals is part of a pilot program at MUSE to determine the feasibility of expanding coverage to include back issues. We are in the early stages of the pilot program and anticipate adding additional back issues for selected journals published by the Johns Hopkins University Press.

Current issues of the "Journal of the History of Philosophy" are available to subscribers of MUSE's Premium Collection, Standard Collection, Basic Research Collection, Basic College Collection, and Humanities Collection. Subscribers now have access to all the back issues as well. The back issues added are Volume 1, 1963, through Volume 37, 1999.

Similarly, current issues of the "Journal of Democracy" are available to subscribers of the Premium Collection, Standard Collection, Basic Research Collection, Basic College Collection, and Social Sciences Collection. Subscribers to those collections now have access to all back issues. The back issues added are Volume 1, 1990, through Volume 5, 1994.

Questions about the pilot program or the addition of the back issues for the two journals may be directed to MUSE Customer Service at muse@muse.jhu.edu
