Just in time for spring semester research projects, the library is pleased to announce added content to our electronic database collections.
Arts & Sciences II has been added to our JSTOR subscription. Along with Arts & Sciences I and the General Science collection, Marian College users now have full text access to back issue runs of over 100 scholarly journals in the humanities, social sciences and scientific literature.
Project Muse is new to the database collection this spring. It is a selection of prestigious journals in the humanities, arts, and social sciences, intended to support a core academic liberal arts curriculum. The library has added the Standard Collection, which provides full text access to nearly 300 current journals.
JSTOR and Project Muse compliment each other. JSTOR provides archival access to journals from the first issue published, in some cases pre-1900. Content is complete within 2-4 years of publication. Project Muse provides access that is current through the most recent published issue, but does not always have the complete runs of the journals.
In some cases, Project Muse will link you directly to the JSTOR archives for full run access, if the title is common to both databases. Both databases provide full text access in PDF format, which means all illustrations, charts and graphs are reproduced along with the text, in the exact format published in the print journal.
Tip sheets for using both JSTOR and Project Muse are available in the library and will soon be available in PDF format on our website (http://library.marian.edu/). If you have questions or would like a librarian to visit your class to discuss using these or other library resources, please contact the liaison librarian for your department.
