SEATS REMAIN FOR PROJECT MUSE USER GROUP BREAKFAST AT ALA MIDWINTER

*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!*

A few seats are still available for the Project MUSE User Group breakfast
on Saturday, January 15, at the American Library Association's Midwinter
Meeting in Boston. 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.
