What are Project MUSE books?
Project MUSE books are ebooks made available through the Project MUSE publishing platform. Usually, you will be offered the choice of downloading specific chapters, rather than a whole book as you would on some other platforms. Project MUSE books can be searched directly in Catalyst, or in Project MUSE itself.
