[Web4lib] Project MUSE Functionality Survey

[Aileen McHugh]

***Apologies for Cross-Posting***
 
Dear Colleagues and Customers,
  
Project MUSE® (http://muse.jhu.edu), a collection of 270 distinguished peer-reviewed journals in the humanities and social sciences from nearly 60 not-for-profit publishers, invites your participation in a web-based survey on enhancing our functionality, interface, and navigation for users throughout the world. The survey web site is http://muse.jhu.edu/survey. 
 
Please complete the survey by Tuesday, June 21, 2005. 
 
We are sending invitations to Project MUSE subscribing libraries, but we also invite colleagues and prospective customers to respond. Multiple responses from individuals in differing roles at the same library are welcome. Please share this invitation with interested colleagues, since one individual may not be the best person to respond to every question. 
 
The survey will take 15 to 30 minutes, depending on how many comments you choose to make.  You may work on the survey in several sessions.  It will save your place if you wish to exit and return, provided no one else accesses the survey from the same browser. 
 
Those who complete the survey and include an email address will be entered into a drawing for five gift certificates of $50 each to Amazon.com. 
 
For academic libraries in the United States, the survey will ask for your institution's Carnegie Classification.  If you would like to look it up before beginning, please follow this link: http://www.carnegiefoundation.org/Classification/ 
 
(International and special libraries will not be asked for a Carnegie Classification.) 
 
If your library does not subscribe to Project MUSE, sample journal issues and more information about Project MUSE may be accessed online at http://muse.jhu.edu. The search function may be used, and tables of contents and abstracts viewed without a subscription. 
 
Trial access to the entire Project MUSE database may be requested for media review and for prospective subscribers by completing the trial request form at http://tools.muse.jhu.edu/cgi-bin/trial_access.cgi. 
 
Thank you in advance for your participation.
