Project MUSE is pleased to announce that the following updates are now
available.

Project MUSE compatible with Z39.50 protocol

Project MUSE is now compliant with the Z39.50 protocol for information
retrieval. The Z39.50 protocol provides another way for users to search
and locate articles in MUSE using a Z39.50 compatible client.  The
Z39.50 functionality in MUSE is still in the beta phase and therefore,
we encourage subscribers to contact us with feedback about the
helpfulness of this protocol in searching and retrieving articles in
MUSE. Feedback may be sent to the MUSE Customer Support desk at
muse@muse.jhu.edu.  An institution must maintain a Project MUSE
subscription in order to access the full text articles retrieved via the
Z39.50 compatible client.

New RSS Feeds

Project MUSE has added two new RSS feeds:
- Upcoming Titles for 2007
- Upcoming Titles for 2006
- Latest Issues (existing feed)

By subscribing to Upcoming Titles for 2007 users receive direct
information about new titles scheduled to be included in MUSE during the
2007 subscription year. The feed for Upcoming Titles for 2006 provides a
summary list of titles that have been or will be included during the
2006 subscription year.

As an alert tool, RSS feeds are easy to subscribe to and provide users
with a direct method for receiving information about their favorite
journals from the over 300 journals in the MUSE collection. With the
feeds providing links to the Tables of Contents, students, librarians,
researchers and faculty have a valuable tool for staying current with
information in their favorite titles. Information about subscribing to
the feeds is found at the Project MUSE RSS Syndication page:
http://feeds.muse.jhu.edu

WebFeat Compatibility

Project MUSE is now searchable by the WebFeat search engine.
Researchers and students may locate articles within MUSE in library
systems that use the WebFeat search engine, a federated search engine
used at many academic, public and government libraries. The WebFeat
search engine allows a user to search any or all of a library's
databases simultaneously with a single interface. An institution must
maintain a Project MUSE subscription in order to access the full text
articles located by WebFeat.

Current subscribers are encouraged to contact MUSE's Customer Support
desk at muse@muse.jhu.edu with any questions regarding these
enhancements.
