Higher Education Leadership

Associations:
Professional and trade associations offer unique insider perspectives on the world of their membership with industry reports and member surveys you will not find elsewhere. Here are a few for higher education worth considering:

• Association of College & University Policy Administrators (ACUPA) -- WEB (see their "Resources" page)
• Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges - has topical bibliographies and good links on their site.
• Education Commission of the States - has a good section on post-secondary issues.
• State Higher Education Executive Officers - a handy listing of the higher education board, commission, regents or department for each state.
• College and University Public Relations and Associated Professionals - higher education marketing and communications professionals

Still can't find your special statistic or fact? Other associations can be found from the Inside Higher Education weblinks page, or the National Forum for Teaching and Learning weblinks page, or in the Library's database Encyclopedia of Associations or the Leadership Library (which  includes corporate and political info as well).

QUESTION:
What if I just want to browse a few good peer-reviewed / scholarly journals that are all about higher education ?

ANSWER:
Try some of the following:

• Journal of Higher Education
• Journal of Higher Education Ethics
• Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management 
  
  You may also choose to keyword search on just the journal TITLES using our "GetIt E-Journal Portal" as I have linked to in the following examples:   "higher education"   or   "college"
  
  Other libraries have lists of journals focused on higher education too:
  UNT, BGSU, or USF

Institutions of higher education exist in local, regional and national contexts, each with its own news publications. The following short list works for Drexel University's context. Other universities will have a comparable list of publication. Every higher education professional, whether faculty or staff, should be able to navigate these publications to support the mission of their institution in an informed manner.
