Accessing the NY Times

In order to access articles from the New York Times, first go to the Queens College Library Homepage: http://library.qc.cuny.edu

Next, go to “Find Databases” in the lefthand sidebar.  Click on “N” and scroll down to “New York Times”.  Click on this and then type in the title of a specific article you’d like to read, making sure to choose “Document Title” from the drop-down menu.  Click search and it should bring up the article you want.

If you want to search the whole Arts Section, you can type in the letter of the section (C, D, etc.), which you’ll be able to find on the NY Times website.  Choose “Section” from the drop down menu.  Go down to the section that says “Publication Date” and choose “On this Date” from the drop down menu.  Enter today’s date, click “Search” and it will give you all the articles from today’s Art Section.
