MUSE Implements CASA in Cooperation with Google Scholar
Project MUSE has expanded its relationship with Google Scholar to include implementation of Campus Activated Subscriber Access (CASA), providing seamless access to subscribed or purchased content for an institution’s users even when off campus or from a mobile device. 
  • CASA makes it easy for students and researchers to access MUSE content from anywhere without the need for proxy/VPN or other off-campus authentication systems 
  • No action is required by the subscribing institution to enable CASA; users utilizing Google Scholar will, once their affiliation is recorded from on-campus, experience seamless access to their library’s licensed MUSE content at home and on mobile. 

Read the full announcement for more details.

Hosted Journals on MUSE

MUSE hosts a growing number of journals available to institutions as individual subscriptions. These journals are not included in any MUSE journal collections so there is no overlap, but they may be added to an institution's holdings to supplement a collection subscription.
Publishers are opting to offer hosted journals via institutional subscription or open access. The MUSE hosted journals provide libraries with a familiar platform on which to provide an even broader range of journals to support their institution. See the current list of journals hosted on MUSE.  Also refer to the list of journals available to institutions as single title subscriptions.
If you know of a journal that would benefit from the visibility and added value of being hosted on MUSE, please contact our Publisher Relations team for more information.
