The Chronicle’s web site has 800,000 individuals connecting
every month. Students doing research can access the paper if a school
librarian subscribes to it, and for institutions that have site licenses,
everyone on a participating campus has full access to the publication
online. Even subscribers to the print version may be turning to the Internet
more frequently to read the Chronicle. “Most administrators
and faculty on campus use the online version,” says Sarah Sudak,
director of housing and residential life at Middle Tennessee State University,
which does not have a site license. “I’m one of the rare exceptions
who still like the paper copy.” Sudak says she also uses the Chronicle
for professional development with her staff. “I forward articles
that will be of interest to specific people or we use an article as a
point of discussion in a staff meeting in an attempt to stay on top of
relevant topics in the profession. I also enjoy the Gazette section
(which tracks appointments, resignations and recent deaths) because it
allows me to stay informed about people’s comings and goings within
the field and regularly review the job listings to be knowledgeable about
the types of jobs that are opening up and to see if our salaries are competitive
with what’s out there.”
