FREE ONLINE ACCESS for TC employees & students to the complete New York Times archive:
On March 13, 2007 The New York Times announced FREE full text access to its current newspaper issue AND its archives for all users who register for the NYTimes Online using a current and active email account from an institution of higher education (.edu).
These instructions are repeated from an e-mail sent at the end of March. Faculty and others will want to advantage themselves of this opportunity and acquaint their students with it.
The Library at Tusculum College is very excited to assist students and faculty in taking advantage of this invaluable access to “all the news that’s fit to print”. In order to register for this access, there are a few steps that need to be taken.
