Project MUSE is offering five new subject collections, along with titles from eight additional publishers, in its 2021 book collections. The 2021 Complete collection is expected to be 7% larger than the prior year – offering nearly 3,000 newly published books, about 200 before 2020. By the end of 2021, the Book Collections on Project MUSE will offer over 68,000 titles, from more than 200 distinguished university presses and related not-for-profit publishers, providing essential, vetted, reliable digital scholarship to libraries, researchers, instructors, and students worldwide.

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.

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: Aarhus University Press, Bristol University Press, Editorial Utadeo, Getty Publications, Institute of East Asian Studies-University of California, UCLA Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, University of Cincinnati Press, and Washington State University Press.

In addition to collections, many books on MUSE are available via Evidence-Based Acquisition, or may be purchased individually through the partnerships with GOBI and OASIS. MUSE also hosts several thousand fully open access titles, from both traditional and OA-only publishers.

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 MUSE community of esteemed not-for-profit publishers. By distributing the significant majority of MUSE revenue from library purchases directly back to university-based publishers, MUSE return a great deal of value to the system of scholarship, rather than extracting it. MUSE is investing in maintaining a platform that provides for crucial needs of discoverability and accessibility, and complies with major information standards and offers library-friendly and user-friendly terms.
