The Middlebury community has access to the Chronicle of Higher Education in print, located in the Harman Periodical Reading Room and online, via a range of full-text databases, like Proquest, among others but also directly through the Chronicle’s website. All Middlebury users can access the “Premium Content” indicated by the gold-key icon:
So, why is there a “Log in” link in the upper right corner of the Chronicle of Higher Education site?
You may “Create a Free Account” to:
- subscribe to the Chronicle’s free e-newsletters,
- post comments,
- e-mail Chronicle content,
- save job searches
Summing up, you do not need to log in to access the Chronicle’s premium content, but you may want to create your own free account to take advantage of other features.
The other thing to know is that if you read the chronicle website from off-campus and are barred from accessing premium content, you can go to http://go.middlebury.edu/chronicle and login via EZproxy and voila! you’re now reading as if from of-campus.
The links in the story above go through the proxy server as well.
We received this helpful clarification from a representative of The Chronicle:
The Chronicle is not by any means the only publication for which online access through aggregated databases are less than the original.
