Libraries Announce addition of Chronicle

November 2007—The Libraries are pleased to announce The Chronicle of Higher Education is now available online.  During a month-long trial, the Libraries' Collection Development Advisory Committee received a flood of positive responses and made the decision to institute a subscription.  Head of Collection Development Jay Kirk said, "Now the entire campus community will have online access to The Chronicle.  The cost per user will go down.  Plus, as we decrease print subscriptions, there is the added benefit of saving paper and printing materials."

Campus members who evaluated The Chronicle during the trial said:

"I would love to have access to The Chronicle online."

"I would be happy to cancel my personal subscription."

"Particularly helpful to younger staff who cannot afford personal subscriptions."

"I teach a course in which I would refer students regularly."

All text of the current issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education, which prints and mails every Friday, is posted the following Monday morning.  Features include a complete, searchable archive back to September 1989; Job postings--thousands of faculty and administrative positions--updated daily, plus other career services, such as employer profiles, career advice and counseling, and salary data; Commentary and essays from the weekly magazine, The Chronicle Review.  The Chronicle's guide to the site provides an overview of all the available features.
