Chronicle of Higher Education Online: RSS Feeds

One way to keep up with your favorite sections of the Chronicle of Higher Education is to use the RSS feeds. Pick out the RSS Feeds that you like from the CHE Site Map page. All of the major sections of the site have their own RSS feed. Click on the RSS link next to the section of interest. You can either follow the directions for adding it to your browser's RSS reader or you can copy the feed address into your favorite RSS reader and you are all set!

When you are on campus, you will not need ITP Library database logins because you are already authenticated. It will be easy to use the links to go directly to the full article. When you are off campus, the authentication won't be automatic for some articles that are considered premium content. If you link to the article and see a golden key, that means you need to log in to see the full content.

When you need to log in to see full content, you will copy the text or just take note of the article title you want from the alerting newsletters above, go to the Access Online Databases page, click on the Chronicle of Higher Education Online link and put the article title into the chronicle.edu search box at the upper right.
If you want more information on RSS feeds or how to do any of the above, please email us at refdesk@itp.edu
