The Chronicle of Higher Education is the premier publication for college-level educators. There are long articles that discuss key issues facing educators, as well as substantial discussions offering analysis and advice about trends in teaching, technology, assessment policies, and the sometimes insane politics that governs education in the country. Discussions of personal successes and failures pepper the publication and they are often very quick to talk about emerging gadgets and strategies.

One section on the page is devoted to information technology (http://chronicle.com/infotech/) which currently includes a discussion of new ways of accessing library catalogs that allow users to add their own information, a link to writings on distance education. The only problem is that full access to the site must be paid for (although it is available via LexisNexis to UH students). Once signed in, though, it is possible to search the last 10 years of the publication, and all sorts of good ideas.
