Project MUSE Expands Author Discovery Feature
Project MUSE (http://muse.jhu.edu) announced the addition of a new search feature that quickly connects users to more articles by an author. Look for the new "More By" feature on each article. The More By feature appears for each author listed as contributing to the article. Users can simply click on the linked author name to find additional articles in MUSE by the author.In addition to providing quick access to more MUSE articles by the author, MUSE expanded the search to include links to more works by the author in Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com) and OCLC WorldCat (www.worldcat.org). Google Scholar indexes peer-reviewed articles, books, theses, papers, and abstracts from a wide variety of sources across many disciplines. Linking to the author's works in WorldCat using the "Find in a library" link adds depth to a user's research, as the WorldCat record provides information about access to all formats of the author's work. WorldCat allows users to search the collections of libraries in their communities, as well as many others around the world, for both physical items and digital content. The More By This Author feature in MUSE continues MUSE's efforts to provide users with tools to enhance their research and discovery. Project MUSE is managed by the Johns Hopkins University Press, in collaboration with the participating publishers and the Milton S. Eisenhower Library at Johns Hopkins University. Project MUSE offers full-text, affordable subscription access for institutions to current content from prestigious humanities and social sciences journals. Source: Project MUSE
