Project MUSE® Now Available

Easy access to online scholarly journals in arts, humanities, and social sciences

Project MUSE^®, an online resource providing over 250 scholarly journals from 40 publishers, is now available at Camden County College Library.  Students and faculty now have access 24 hours a day to one of the most important academic resources in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. In addition, Project MUSE provides timely access by releasing journal articles online before libraries receive them in print.

Find Project MUSE at http://library.camdencc.edu in the ‘Databases by Title’ list. All of the databases listed are accessible from any computer on campus, and  - with a current library card - from off-campus.

Project MUSE is a valuable addition to the library’s resources in which users may enjoy the following features:

·        Find full-text articles, offered in HTML and PDF formats, in a variety of subject areas including economics, education, film, history, literature, philosophy, politics, religion, women’s studies, and many more.

·        Sign up for “Journal Alerts” to be notified when new issues come out in your favorite journals. Follow links in the e-mail right to the tables of contents of new issues.

·        View the complete content of journals including full-text articles, reviews (books, performance, art, music, etc.), fiction and poetry, editorial or submission information, plus enlargeable illustrations and photographs.

·        Search for articles the way you want to:

o       Use either a simple “Basic” screen or “Advanced” screen with multiple options.

o       Search the whole database or within selected subject areas, date ranges, or specific journals.

o       Search the full text of articles or just in specific fields such as subject, author, or title.

·       Manage your search results in several ways:

o       E-mail article citations with a link to the full-text.

o       Download or print in text-only (or “printer-friendly”) format.

o       Export to citation management software such as EndNote and RefWorks.

·        View your Search History to return to your previous searches, and use the “modify” and “refine” functions to change your search terms and limit options.

·        Use the subject headings in the tables of contents and in the search results to help you quickly identify an article’s topic, or to give you ideas for additional search terms.

·        Navigate within the full-text articles using the links to footnotes, author biographies, and illustrations.
