SEARCH CONTENT BROWSE LIBRARIANS IN THIS ISSUE: Latest Back Issues Added Open Access Journals Helpful Tools April 2016 MUSE Ebooks Available for Single Title Purchase  Libraries may add MUSE books to their collections by purchasing individual titles. Two options are available for purchasing single titles: ordering through YBP Library Services, and participating in the MUSE EBA pilot program. YBP - include ebooks from MUSE in your approval profile or place firm orders via the GOBI system EBA Pilot Program -  participate in MUSE’s pilot of evidence-based, demand-driven acquisitions to allow for broad discovery and selection of titles appropriate for your institution. MUSE is looking for universities, university systems, or library consortia with a strong interest in the UPCC content and a reasonable budget to commit to the pilot.  Please contact MUSE Book Sales for more information.  Back Issues Added in April Back issues were added for two journals in early April. MUSE now has the complete run of Women in French Studies, beginning with Vol. 1, 1993. Coverage of The Canadian Historical Review now begins with Vol. 41, 1960. Open Access and Hosted Journals on MUSE Project MUSE recently launched its first fully open access journal, RSF: The Russell Sage Foundation Journal of the Social Sciences.  RSF is a peer-reviewed journal designed to promote cross-disciplinary collaborations on timely issues of interest to academics, policymakers, and the public at large. Four issues are now available on MUSE for all to access and read. The availability of RSF on MUSE is made possible through a new Hosted Journals program, which allows publishers to include journals on the platform outside of the MUSE Journal Collections. MUSE Hosted Journals are integrated into the complete list of journals and benefit from all of the same features, functionality, discoverability, and services as titles in collections. Libraries can have access to these titles based on how publishers choose to offer Hosted Journals, either as a subscription or as open access. See journals currently Hosted on MUSE.  Inquiries from peer-reviewed journals in the humanities and social sciences regarding the Hosted Journals program are welcome, in particular those titles interested in an open access model. Contact MUSE Publisher Relations with questions and for more information.
