Chronicle of Higher Education emailed to you

Academe Today, The Chronicle of Higher Education's daily e-mail report, is now available free, with no restrictions, as an added benefit to Fondren Library's campus site license to the Chronicle. Starting immediately, anyone at our institution can sign up for this popular e-mail newsletter, which summarizes the latest news in higher education and provides links to the complete news articles posted on The Chronicle's Web site every day.

The daily briefing also summarizes the news, career advice, and essays published in the current issue of The Chronicle's print edition and provides links to the full text of each week's issue on their Web site.

Signing up is simple. Here are instructions that anyone on campus can use:

* Go to https://chronicle.com/services/?slm to create a free Chronicle account, or log in if you already have an account.

* Choose the format in which you want to receive Academe Today--either HTML or plain text.

* Once you have confirmed your e-mail address, you'll receive your own copy of Academe Today the next weekday morning (Eastern Time).

When you sign up for Academe Today, you can also subscribe to other free Chronicle e-mail newsletters. A list of our e-mail newsletters is available at http://chronicle.com/help/emails/?slm

P.S. If you read Academe Today from home or any other remote location, you will be asked for a Chronicle user name and password when you click on any link in Academe Today. For remote access, you will need to log on to your VPN or proxy account before reading The Chronicle online.
