  • Full access to the New York Times online

    The Library provides full access to the NYTimes online starting from 2002, apart from the NYT Cooking and NYT Games sections.
    With the New York Times Digital Pass it is possible to access the NYTimes archive, that contains articles dating back to 1851. All NYTimes.com Pass users have access to up to five articles per day or 100 articles every 4 weeks. The NYTimes archive is available at the URL https://www.nytimes.com/search/.
    The remote access to the newspaper is possible only after creating a personal account and a New York Times Digital Pass at nytimes.com/passes, using a valid USI institutional email (@usi.ch). The Digital Pass includes access to the NYT app for iOS and Android. A proxy remote access to this resource is not available.
