New Titles Added to Collections The Premium Collection will continue to offer libraries the most comprehensive collection of online arts and humanities content. All seventeen new journals from new and participating publishers will be included in the Premium Collection. (Please see the complete list of new titles at the end of this announcement.) Selected new titles will also be added to three of MUSE's existing collections: Standard Collection, Arts and Humanities Collection, and Social Sciences Collection. In addition, selected current titles will be added to the Basic Research Collection, the Basic Undergraduate Collection, and the Social Sciences Collection. Comparative Drama, James Joyce Quarterly, and Tulsa Studies in Women’s Literature will be joining the MUSE Standard Collection. Journals are chosen for the MUSE Basic Research and Basic Undergraduate collections based on a number of selective criteria, and current MUSE titles are re-evaluated annually using these guidelines. Journals now meeting the selection criteria may “graduate” into the applicable Basic collection(s). In 2007, MUSE will enhance the Basic Research Collection with several current titles: Asian Perspectives, Journal of Narrative Theory, Mediterranean Quarterly, and Southeastern Geographer. The Basic Undergraduate Collection will gain American Annals of the Deaf, Asian Perspectives, Journal of Folklore Research, Leonardo Music Journal, Nineteenth Century French Studies and positions: east asia cultures critique. Titles new to MUSE in 2007 will also be added to the Arts & Humanities and Social Sciences collections as appropriate based upon their subject matter. Please see the MUSE web site for complete 2007 title lists for all six collections.
