Journalism Professors
If you are a journalism professor teaching a course that includes writing on
religion, send us an email requesting
authorization to search Religionsource. Include your full name, your faculty
position and the name of your institution.
If you are a journalism professor teaching a course that includes writing on
religion and you would like to authorize your class to use this database,
email us with the following: your name, position, email address, and phone
number; the name of the course and of your institution; and a list of the names
and email addresses of the students in your class. (We require this process
in order to deter general students or members of the public from bothering scholars
with queries that are more appropriately answered by visiting a library.)
Journalism Students
At the bottom of the Religionsource home
page, there's a Journalism Students link taking you to a request that you
send your journalism professor (or the faculty advisor for your school's news
outlet) an email that includes your email address, phone number and school,
and the name of the course (or outlet). Ask the professor to add his or her
name and faculty position to your email and to forward the email to
source@religionsource.org.
If months ago you received authorization that worked, your authorization may
have since expired (student authorizations are valid for six months). Request
a renewal of your authorization using the same process you used for your original
authorization.
