Project Muse Database Enhancement

The Project Muse database now provides a new search feature to connect researchers to more articles by a specific author.  When a search brings up a citation, the “More By” feature appears for authors listed as contributing to that article.  Researchers can simply click on the linked author name to find additional articles in Project Muse by that author.  The “More By” feature also provides links to works by the author is the Google Scholar search engine and OCLC WorldCat search engine, both of which are available on the World Wide Web.

The Project Muse database offers journal titles from 40 scholarly publishers and covers the fields of literature and criticism, history, the visual and performing arts, cultural studies, education, political science, gender studies, economics, and many others.  Note:  Auburn subscribes to the Standard package.
