Re: Titles dropped from Project Muse over time

Hi Patricia,
Muse is pretty good about indicating which titles are no longer adding
current content. If you go to:
<http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/> just look for those that say archive only.
I think you can download the list into a spreadsheet if that will make it
easier for you.
Muse also issues a regular newsletter and you can sign up for RSS feeds to
learn more about changes.
There is some risk in cutting print for Muse because each year some
publishers drop out. The upside is that the subscription cost is pretty
minimal (compared to STM titles) if you do need to reinstate a few titles.
