Thank you to everyone who responded to my query about the Chronicle of
Higher Education. Ironically we're able to get multiple copies of some
other popular titles (Time, Newsweek) sent to a single address with no
trouble. And, for us at least, the problems with the Chronicle have just
started within the past two years.

The Chronicle does offer institutional site licenses, with IP
recognition. We have such a subscription.

When you say 'online' do you mean IP recognition or login/password? I
didn't think they did IP.

way that we avoided problems with multiple copies was to go direct. I
had one sub to my home address and brought it in to the library. The
other 2 I renewed by phone each year with a credit card so a human at
the Chronicle office could make sure the renewal was done properly.
I've dropped the copy delivered to my home. I'm still calling in the
renewal to the other 2. This is a common problem with multiple copies
of popular titles. As we've gone online and eliminated multiple copies,
life has become a little simpler in this regard. No matter how good an
agency is, the fulfillment ends of these publications just aren't set up
for multiple copies.
