SAVE THE DATE: PROJECT MUSE USER GROUP BREAKFAST MEETING AT MIDWINTER ALA

Join us for the hottest news about Project MUSE, and some spicy
southwestern breakfast treats!

Please join Project MUSE for a southwestern breakfast on Saturday, January 
21, at our annual User Group Meeting during the American Library 
Association's Midwinter Meeting in San Antonio. Enjoy breakfast tacos and 
burritos while you learn about the latest developments in MUSE content, 
functionality, subscription options, and linking arrangements. 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, with over 40 new titles from 17 new 
and currently participating publishers confirmed for 2006. Over the past 
two years, we introduced new pricing models for domestic and international 
libraries designed to provide greater fairness, flexibility, and 
predictability for subscribers, and to open up new opportunities for 
smaller colleges and universities and various kinds of special libraries 
to benefit from the wealth of resources MUSE offers.

We'll also be discussing our 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.

Details of the User Group Meeting:

Saturday, January 21, 2005
8:00 am - 9:00 am
The Menger Hotel - Ballroom C
204 Alamo Plaza

We'll begin our brief presentation at 8:00 sharp and leave ample time for 
questions and discussion to follow. A light southwestern breakfast buffet, 
along with traditional continental breakfast choices, will be available.

RSVPs for the meeting are appreciated to assist us with our planning. 
Libraries are welcome to send more than one representative. Replies may be 
directed to melanie@muse.jhu.edu. Please note the number of 
representatives you expect to have attending from your institution.

Project MUSE will also have an exhibit booth at the Midwinter Meeting,

you would like to discuss in greater depth with a Muse representative, 
please stop by anytime!

Thank you for your continued support of Project MUSE! We hope to see
you in San Antonio.
