In our experience, The Chronicle has made it very clear that each
individual who accesses the online version must have his/her own individual
subscription in order to get a password and ID.  When I called their
office, I was told explicitly that they do not make passwords and ID's
available for institutional use and that a password/ID issued to a
librarian is not to be posted or otherwise shared for multiple-user access.

I would be very interested in how the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay has
managed to circumvent this very restrictive policy.
