About the Chronicle of Higher Education

NOTE: Due to the nature of the library subscription to The Chronicle of Higher Education, please follow this procedure:

You can still search and view abstracts within the resource (https://www.chronicle.com/) to get an idea of what articles you may want to read in their entirety.
After searching, please make a list of the articles that you wish to have full text copies of and send them to me via email with the appropriate subject line for your class/section.

When sending your requests, to expedite them, please refrain from sending multiple emails for individual titles as they can potentially become lost. Try to send them in a batch.
