Access to today's New York Times

We do have access to the full content of the New York Times, back to 1857 when it began.
It does take a few steps to be able to view the content of just today's paper with our subscription, but it can be done. What we do not have is a graphical version that allows the user to turn the pages. The NYT does have a public site, but it has limited full content viewing (after 10 articles you will not see the complete content), and for today's paper, it does not let you electronically turn pages either, as some electronic journals or magazines do.

Steps to see the content for today's NYT:
  • from the library home page, type new york times in the Google Custom Search box on the top right
  • click on the 4th result in the list
  • then click on the blue title, New York Times
  • change the Date Range from all dates to today's month, day, and year
  • click Search
  • change the Sort Results By from Relevance to Publication Date (most recent first)
Now you will see a list of all of the content from today's paper, listed in section order, beginning with A1.

If someone wants to compare that with the public NYT site that includes photos and graphics, they can open two tabs, one with the search above, and the other with the public site.
