Chronicle of Higher Education now Available Online from the BC Library
The library provides a campus license to the online version of The Chronicle of Higher Education. Whenever you are on campus and using the college’s Internet or Wi-Fi, you will have full access to all of The Chronicle’s content.
If you are off-campus, you need to utilize a special link to access the campus license. That link is:
http://ezproxy.bellevuecollege.edu/login?url=http://chronicle.com/
When accessing the link from off-campus, you will be asked to authenticate with your NETID and password before accessing the premium content. The link to The Chronicle and all of the library’s other subscription resources, can be found on our databases list.
If you have any questions regarding the subscription, please contact the librarians at reference@bellevuecollege.edu or extension 6161.
