Project MUSE, a collection of 200 journals in electronic format offered to the UIC community by the University Library, has announced a new, customized email alert service. This service will be available to all members of the UIC community. Project MUSE was begun in 1995 to offer, through the World Wide Web, the full text of articles appearing in journals published by the Johns Hopkins University Press. Over time it grew to include electronic access to a wide range of journals issued by non-profit publishers in the humanities, the arts, and the social sciences. Last year the University Library spent $1,400,000 to bring electronic journals and databases to the desktops of UIC users, and Project MUSE is one of these resources.
Users may customize the service to receive alerts (including table of contents links) for new issues of an individual journal title, all titles in a specific MUSE collection, or a customized collection of the any of the above. Users wishing to sign up for the new Journal Alerts service can do so by clicking on the "Request Journals Alerts" link on the MUSE information page or by going directly to Project Muse Journal Alerts.
