Penn Libraries News

Penn Libraries subscribes to Inside Higher Ed

The Penn Libraries now provides access to Inside Higher Ed, a leading news source for and about the higher education community.

A person stands in front of a projected presentation slide, gesturing toward the audience with one hand raised. The slide displays a scientific article page featuring a scatter plot comparing mean annual total phosphorus and chlorophyll concentrations, along with explanatory text. The presenter partially blocks the projection while speaking in a classroom or lecture setting.

The Penn Libraries is pleased to offer online access to Inside Higher Ed.

Inside Higher Ed, a product of Times Higher Education, is an online publication that provides news, opinion pieces, career advice, and other resources related to the business and service of higher education. The Libraries’ subscription provides unlimited access to articles from Inside Higher Ed.

Inside Higher Ed helps faculty, staff, and students stay informed about the policies, trends, and debates shaping higher education. Its reporting covers topics such as higher education policy, institutional funding, accreditation, faculty hiring and compensation, and emerging approaches to teaching, assessment, and student engagement. In addition to news coverage, the publication offers analysis, opinion pieces, podcasts, and career resources that support professional development and engagement with the evolving landscape of higher education. Recent articles and podcast episodes have explored topics including student participation in institutional decision-making, artificial intelligence and academic integrity, and changes to federal student aid programs implemented by the U.S. Department of Education.

In addition to Inside Higher Ed, the Penn Libraries provides access to The Chronicle of Higher Education and Education Week as well as to news subscriptions like The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Financial Times, Le Monde, and The Atlantic, among other publications.
