Chronicle of Higher Education – Get your free subscription!

Cowles has provided access to the Chronicle of Higher Education (and its sister publication, Chronicle of Philanthropy) to all Drake employees and students for a number of years. Based in Washington, D.C., The Chronicle has more than 70 writers, editors, and international correspondents. Online, The Chronicle is published every weekday and is a top destination for news, advice, and jobs for people in academe.

Unlike most of the Library’s resources, in order to take advantage of the Chronicle, you must complete a “one-time” registration process. It’s pretty simple, but it requires your Drake email account. Instructions follow:

1) First, go to: https://www.chronicle.com/account/login?

You should see a screen similar to the following:

2) Click on “Signup.” You should see a screen like the following:

3) Enter your first name, last name, Drake email, and choose a password. Once you’ve entered that, click on “Sign Up.”

4) You should get a message similar to the following:

5) You’ll get an email with the subject of “Chronicle: Confirm New Account” in your Drake email account; click on the link in that email, and you’ll be ready to login! You can click “remember me on this computer” if you’re using a private computer, so you don’t have to login every day.

We hope you find this useful! Contact reference@drake.edu with any questions.

If you’re a Drake faculty member who is in Iowa City regularly..

The University of Iowa Libraries is pleased to announce a policy change that allows all faculty working at any higher ed institution in the state of Iowa to borrow books for one year.

By showing a current Faculty ID card from their university or college at the service desk at the Main Library, Hardin Library for the Health Sciences, or a branch library, faculty will be issued a borrower’s permit that will allow them to check out books for one year.  Previously, the loan period was for 4 weeks.

Applying for this borrower’s permit can be done online, a few days before your visit to Iowa City (http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/forms/permit/).  The U of Iowa Libraries hope this change in service will allow better use of their collection across the state.
