Eleven Connecticut academic libraries have consortial subscriptions for
Project Muse.  We receive quarterly usage reports that are promising.
A great deal of campus marketing needs to be done to "sell" this to
faculty who can--in a networked environment--access this from a
sufficiently powerful browsered home PC.

There is some local dissatisfaction with the proposed pricing for 1997
since only half of the journals are presently online.

Most subscribers are very pleased with the search apparatus and the
quality of the product while others think that it is too early to assess
its impact.  My personal view is that the best features of this product
will be actively imitated by larger full-text providers like Ebsco
with its current offerings of more than a thousand academic journals.
