Project MUSE, a non-profit collaboration between libraries and publishers, is an online database of peer-reviewed academic journals^[1] and electronic books.^[2] Project MUSE contains digital humanities and social science content from some 400 university presses and scholarly societies^[3] around the world. It is an aggregator of digital versions of academic journals, all of which are free of digital rights management (DRM). It operates as a third-party acquisition service like EBSCO, JSTOR, OverDrive, and ProQuest.^[4]

MUSE's online journal collections are available on a subscription basis to academic, public, special, and school libraries. Currently, there are more than 5,000 institutional subscribers made up of libraries worldwide with 237 countries accessing content. Electronic book collections became available for institutional purchase in January 2012. Thousands of scholarly books are available on the platform.
