Project Muse is an electronic publishing initiative of the Johns Hopkins University Press, in collaboration with the Milton S. Eisenhower Library, enabling worldwide networked access to the full text of the Press's 40-plus scholarly journals in the humanities, the social sciences, and mathematics. Funded through 1997 by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Project Muse makes works of scholarship more widely available within individual university communities by using online technology to produce affordable electronic journals.
Rights: Upon receipt of payment or institutional purchase order, The Johns Hopkins University Press grants the Subscriber access to the Project Muse database, consisting of selected JHUP serial titles in the humanities, social sciences, and mathematics. This agreement grants access to the Project Muse database for educational, research, and personal use by the faculty, staff, students, alumni and library patrons utilizing the Subscriber's contiguous campus network. Distance learners, alumni, and other off-campus affiliates may access Project Muse if their Internet access is through the campus network. Users may download and print articles for personal use and archive contents on their own personal computers. They may send one copy by email, print, or fax to one person at another location for that individual's personal use. Facsimile images that are exact representations of the print journal pages or of printouts from the electronic database may be provided for interlibrary loan under CONTU guidelines and distributed in paper, fax, or digital form.
Not Permitted: Subscribers and users may not disseminate content from Project Muse journals outside the geographically-contiguous campus by any means, except as noted above. Transmission of the digital source code, whether plain ASCII or tagged, and use of contents and articles in coursepacks are expressly prohibited.
Archiving: The Subscriber may download and archive materials at its own site and place contents on its own file server, including electronic reserves, providing that access to the file server is restricted to the campus community. Approximately 90 days after the expiration of this subscription term, The Johns Hopkins University Press will provide the Subscriber archival (non-searchable) files on CD-ROM containing the content of all issues published online during the subscription term.
Note: Please refer to the Project Muse Web site for information on the terms and conditions of consortia or multi-campus subscriptions to Project Muse. At our site, you may also access subscription information, try our search engine, view tables of contents of our journals, and see one free sample issue in full text of each online journal.
