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

10,000 Ebooks in ITP Library Catalog

Over the past several months, we have been working on adding ways to easily find ebooks in our collections.  Since we have over 72,000 ebooks and we add more monthly if not weekly, we wanted to give our patrons more ways to quickly discover and enjoy them. We recently loaded records for over 10,000 ebooks into our library catalog so that you can look for print books and ebooks all in one process. We will be working on loading more but 10,000 is a good start.

How do you find ebooks in the library catalog? 
The quickest way, for now, is to search for Electronic books as a subject. Ask a reference librarian for help with your search.

How can you tell if a title is an ebook or not?
Here is an example of what the brief record of an ebook will look like:

The title will be followed by [electronic resource] and the call number will be followed by eb.

To access the ebook, click on the title link to open the full library record and look for the Electronic Access link:

Even though we have added this additional way to find ebooks, you can always go directly to the specific ebook collection and search as well. This new access is simply a way of giving you options.
