New York Times (NYT)

The short answer is just go to www.nytimes.com and search away, but it's not always the best option

• NYTIMES.COM limits the type of information and the number of articles you can see for free:
  • "Visitors have free access to a limited amount of digital content (including podcasts, newsletters, blog posts, slide shows and other multimedia features) on NYTimes.com.  NYTimes apps are free to download and install, and include some free content.'"
  • more limited access to the archives 
  • no free access to articles from 1923 through 1986.
  • dIsplay and classifed ads are not available 
  • even if you pay for an archive article, "photographs, charts and other illustrations are not included with archived articles published since 1981"
• How can I access more ?                       
  Try the New York Times Academic Pass., log in through this link.

Bonus features only available on nytimes.com  include:

• Times Topics which brings together stories on popular and timely issues
• Opinion page
• Easy access to archived issues (2008- recent) of T Magazine, The Times' style magazines covering fashion, design, travel, culture )
• Video and Multimedia for news and feature stories
• The Today's Paper feature lists all articles in the order in which they appeared in the various section of the paper and show the layout of the physical newspaper front page. It defaults to today's date, but you can use the calendar to go back several years.
• Times Machine covers 1851 to 2002 and shows entire pages. The Replica Edition covers the paper from the past 30 days only but shows each page as well. Unfortunately, both are only available to digital subscribers and do not work with the New York Times Academic Pass.

New York Times online subscriptions--including the access available through FIT's NYT Academic Pass-- have a feature ("Gift Articles") that allow you to share a limited number of articles with users who may not have their own subscription access. Currently, up to 10 articles per calendar month can be "gifted" and these links will only be valid for 30 days from the date of sharing. 

FACULTY: Note that due to these this limitations, the feature may not be suitable to share nytimes.com links with your students; please encourage them to register for their own free access to the New York Times Academic Pass, through the Library database pages, so they will be able to access a virtually unlimited number of articles without worrying about an expiring link.
