Library Access and Paywalls
Is the content you want behind a paywall?
Newspapers and magazines produce both print and web editions
The library subscribes to both editions, when possible, but web-only content is sometimes omitted from library access
Web-only content may include articles, newsletters, blog posts, videos, interactive media, and data visualizations
How do you check what kind of content we have?
Look for the title of the newspaper or magazine using Library Catalog Search and check the "holdings" tab
When you link into online access via the library, check for a description of what's included - news aggregators like ProQuest and Nexis Uni will provide dates of coverage and descriptions of online editions, in some cases.
Explore the limits of the paywall - are you allowed a certain number of articles for free? Some paywalls are deliberately porous and there may be other ways to get the content (for example, NYTimesMinusContext twitter feed)
There may be an educational discount for individual subscribers
