<p class="MsoNormal">PROJECT MUSE ANNOUNCES NEW SUBJECTS, ADDITIONAL PUBLISHERS FOR 2021 BOOK COLLECTIONS<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Project MUSE will offer five new subject collections, along with titles from eight additional publishers, in its book collections for the 2021 calendar year. The 2021 Complete collection is expected to be 7% larger than the prior year –
offering nearly 3,000 newly-published books, about 200 more than the 2020 Complete. By the end of 2021, the Book Collections on Project MUSE will include well over 68,000 titles, from more than 200 distinguished university presses and related not-for-profit
publishers, providing a wealth of essential, vetted, reliable digital scholarship to libraries, researchers, instructors, and students worldwide.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition to the Complete Collection of new titles each year, books on MUSE are offered in collections by a wide variety of academic subjects and several regional area studies. New subjects available for the first time in 2021 include
Art and Architecture; Gender Studies; Music; Education and Rhetoric; and Science, Technology, and Media. The new collections draw on the strengths of the participating publishers, along with serving the needs of interdisciplinary and emerging areas of study.
Descriptions of the collections, along with further details, are available in the For Librarians section of the Project MUSE website at
<a href="https://about.muse.jhu.edu/librarians/">https://about.muse.jhu.edu/librarians/</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Respected scholarly book publishers continue to turn to MUSE to help disseminate their works to academic institutions worldwide. All books on MUSE are DRM-free, with unlimited simultaneous use, downloading, and printing – making them ideal
for course use and easily accessible for research in remote and hybrid learning environments. The publishers new to the MUSE book collections for 2021 are a global and diverse group, including:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In addition to collections, many books on MUSE are available via Evidence-Based Acquisition, or may be purchased individually through our partnerships with GOBI and OASIS. MUSE also hosts several thousand fully open access titles from both
traditional and OA-only publishers. Learn more about OA on MUSE at <a href="https://about.muse.jhu.edu/muse/open-access-overview/">

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">MUSE has been an integral part of the scholarly communications ecosystem for 25 years, providing libraries with affordable access to humanities and social science scholarship from our community of esteemed not-for-profit publishers. In
an era of continuous change, our mission - the sustainable dissemination of trusted content - remains constant. By distributing the significant majority of our revenue from library purchases directly back to our university-based publishers, we return a great
deal of value to the system of scholarship, rather than extracting it. We invest in maintaining a platform that provides for crucial needs of discoverability and accessibility, complies with major information standards, and offers library-friendly and user-friendly
terms.<o:p></o:p></p>
