Daily Updates from the Chronicle

The Chronicle of Higher Education has just announced a new option for all members of the campus community:
Academe Today, The Chronicle's daily e-mail report, is now available free, with no restrictions. Starting immediately, anyone at your 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 our Web site.

Signing up is simple. Here are instructions that anyone on your 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
As you know, the full online text of the Chronicle of Higher Education is already available, either from campus computers or from other locations, through the Curry Library website. Access to the daily email update has previously only been available to individual subscribers; this change, making it available to all, provides greater opportunity to keep on top of news from the higher education community.
