Access to the New York Times

As you may recall, last year, the CSU team decided to discontinue the UAL subscription that provided unlimited access to NYTimes.com via browser or app. In effect, this change returns New York Times access options to their pre-pandemic state (as we only added the app-focused NYTimes.com subscription in 2019).

The collection still contains numerous ways of accessing the New York Times, including up-to-date access to multiple editions, as well as archival access back to the paper’s founding in 1851.

HELPFUL LINKS

Here are some links that may come in handy:

Noelle Fraser and Doris Wagner maintain the Newspapers LibGuide, including a page dedicated to clarifying New York Times options! Thanks, Noelle and Doris! https://guides.library.ualberta.ca/newspapers/New-York-Times

Our new Primo search system, with its FRBR-ization capacity, makes it quite a lot easier to search for the New York Times: https://search.library.ualberta.ca/permalink/01UOA_INST/cgo409/alma991043577449909116

DATABASE A-Z LIST ASSET UPDATES

The NYTimes.com asset and the related NYTimes inEDUCATION asset have been updated to communicate the cessation of this subscription. In a short while we will delete these assets altogether. Thanks to Lisa Maraj for taking care of these updates!

In the course of tidying up these assets, CSU also decided to delete the asset called “New York Times (1980-current).” This one largely duplicated the US Major Dailies database asset.
