The New York Times for online access to its current issue. Non-subscribers have access to 10 articles per month before being asked to pay.
All of CUNY has access to the current content of the New York Times through LexisNexis, but this database does not have a browse function. The content of the New York Times can be searched in LexisNexis from 1980 to the present.
To see content from the current issue of the newspaper:
The content of each issue of the New York Times from 1985 to the present can be accessed in Academic OneFile, but this database lags one day behind the print/online New York Times.
The content of the New York Times from 1857 through 2009 can be accessed in Historical New York Times database.
All of these resources can be accessed from off-campus with an activated QCC OneCard ID.
The Washington Post started an online paywall system in June, but the organization now offers free digital access for federal employees, military personnel and students in higher education.
The new policy, which began last month, is an extension of the company’s original paywall plan, which provided access to people in government, the military, and education while at work or on campus. Now those readers can view the Web site anywhere at no cost by logging in with their .gov, .mil and .edu e-mail addresses.
Instructions for signing up are available on the Post’s registration page.
The Post paywall, technically known as a “metered subscription model,” limits all other non-paying readers to 20 free online articles — or other items — per month. After that, they have to subscribe using one of three options: check the current prices.
After a year your New York Times CUNY Academic Pass will expire and the article counter will begin; after accessing 10 articles you will be prompted to subscribe or log-in. CUNY patrons should go to nytimes.com/passes and sign in as an existing subscriber.
