Library Resources for Comparative Literature Online Journals

Faculty and students can access the complete contents of many journals on-line via LIAS through two sources: Project Muse and JSTOR.  Both regularly add new journals to their holdings.  This means that readers can see the tables of contents and the full text of articles from their office or home computers.  You can also print the articles you want.

Muse, a project of the Johns Hopkins University Press, currently has more than 40 journals. A partial list of their literature journals includes:
Muse is adding many new titles, including Postmodern Culture and Studies in English Literature. Beginning with the year 2000, Muse will expand to include full-text online access to titles from other university presses. To date, nine other presses have committed 64 titles to joining Muse, bringing the total to 110 and more than doubling the size of the collection. The publishers involved are Carnegie Mellon University Press, Duke University Press, Indiana University Press, MIT Press, Oxford University Press, Pennsylvania State University Press, University of
Hawaii Press, University of Texas Press, and the University of Wisconsin Press. It is expected that even more titles may be added by the end of 1999.

To access JSTOR or Muse, go to the LIAS E-Resource List and scroll through the alphabetical list of resources.  Highlight JSTOR or Muse, then click "Go there."  If you find the title of a journal in the CAT, and we have access to it via JSTOR or Muse, there will be a hot link that will take you directly to the online journal.

Printing from JSTOR and Muse:

To print from Muse, simply go to the article you want to print, and use the print button at the top of your browser (i.e., Netscape or Internet Explorer).

To print from JSTOR, use the menu options on the left of the screen when the article you want is displayed.  Here in the library, we use Adobe Acrobat to print JSTOR articles. You can safely download the Acrobat Reader from the JSTOR print screen.
