PROJECT MUSE USER GROUP BREAKFAST MEETING AT ALA

*Additional titles, new journal collections, a revised pricing model, 
and enhanced outreach initiatives – Join us to find out all that’s new 
with MUSE for 2005!*

Please join Project MUSE for breakfast in Boston on Saturday, January 15,
at our annual User Group Meeting during the American Library Association’s
Midwinter Meeting. This past year has been one of growth and change for
MUSE, and we are excited to share all the latest news for 2005.
Prospective as well as current Muse subscribers are encouraged to attend.

MUSE continues to expand our offerings of quality full-text journals in 
the humanities and social sciences. Along with 26 new titles and 7 new 
publisher participants confirmed for 2005, we are also pleased to 
introduce some new journal collection options developed specifically 
for research and undergraduate libraries. With extensive input from 
librarians, MUSE also recently announced a new pricing model designed 
to provide greater fairness, flexibility, and predictability for 
subscribers, and to open up new opportunities for smaller colleges and 
universities, special libraries, and international libraries to benefit 
from the wealth of resources MUSE offers.

We’ll also be discussing new outreach initiatives and the many 
resources available to help librarians promote and manage their MUSE 
subscriptions, demonstrating some new features developed to enhance 
usability of Muse, and updating you on our partnerships and linking 
arrangements with third party services. Most importantly, we'll be 
available to answer your questions about Project MUSE.

Saturday, January 15, 2005
8:00 am - 9:00 am

We'll begin our brief presentation at 8:00 sharp and leave ample time 
for questions and discussion to follow. A light breakfast will be 
available.
