Free resources through Cowles Library

Cowles Library is here to help with a new series of posts designed to let you know about some of the new and undiscovered valuable resources available for Drake faculty, staff, and students.

The first resource is an important one: Cowles provides access to The Chronicle of Higher Education (and its sister publication, Chronicle of Philanthropy) to all Drake employees and students. Online, The Chronicle is published every weekday and is a top destination for news, advice, and jobs for people in academe.

Unlike most of the Library’s resources, in order to take advantage of The Chronicle, you must complete a “one-time” registration process. It’s pretty simple, but it requires your Drake email account. Follow these instructions.

Online access to The New York Times is also available through its website via a subscription paid for by Cowles Library. Note that for initial signup, you MUST be on the Drake campus, but after that you can access the NY Times anywhere! Sign up today.
