Project Muse has a new look!

Those of you that use the Project Muse database regularly have probably already noticed the big changes! For those of you that don't know, Project MUSE provides full text, subscription access to current content from scholarly journals in the humanities and social sciences. 

The main search page looks a bit different than before.  You will still use the search box to enter your keywords.  You also have more choices in what types of  sources to look for.  If you only want journal articles, use the drop down menu to make that selection.

Once you complete a search, you'll see that the results page looks a lot different.  The results are much larger and easier to read.  You can use the limiters on the left hand side to narrow down your results.  Use the full-text links to access the articles.

As mentioned above, you might see some book records in your search results.  Unfortunately you can't get the full PDFs from Project Muse, so you can check our catalog to see if we own it.  If we don't, use interlibrary loan to request it from another library.

Use the "Access" limiter to only see results that we have full-text access to in the Project Muse database.

Good luck, and let us know if you have any questions at ask@mbc.edu.
