Minitex Pricing
Please direct all pricing questions to Minitex.
All libraries subscribing through Minitex are eligible for a 10% discount off Project
MUSE list prices.
Members of participating consortia or library networks may choose from six Project
MUSE online journal packages offered for the 2012 calendar year subscription term:
- Premium Collection
- Standard Collection
- Basic Research Collection
- Basic College Collection
- Humanities Collection
- Social Sciences Collection
You can use the Collection
Comparison Charts to see which journals are included in each of the six collections,
or to compare collections when making a subscription decision. You can also
create a customized list of the journals in Project MUSE
by Collection including data such as URL, electronic and print ISSN, date coverage, and publisher information.
Pricing levels for U.S. academic libraries are divided into five
pricing "tiers" based on type
of institution as defined by the Carnegie Classification and four "quartiles" based on
usage. Usage is defined by the number of full-text downloads per institution during a
calendar year, and quartiles are determined by comparing usage levels among institutions
in the same tier. The usage quartiles will be recalculated annually.
Project MUSE will notify by email, no later than August, any subscribers experiencing a change in their usage quartile for the upcoming year's price. All new
customers are considered to be in "Quartile 1" until an entire calendar year's worth
of usage statistics is available.
