Introduction to Project MUSE

What is Project MUSE?

Project MUSE is an online collection of over 400 journal titles in the humanities and social sciences from nearly 100 not-for-profit publishers. MUSE is the sole source of complete, full-text versions of titles from many of the world's leading university presses and scholarly societies. Every journal is heavily indexed and peer-reviewed, with critically acclaimed articles by the most respected scholars in their fields.
