Access to newspapers and other popular publications
How can I access popular publications such as the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, etc?
We have direct online access to several publications (use your Harvard or HBS email to sign up):
We do have online access to many additional popular publications, but not the way you'd usually expect. Most publications do not make their digital editions available to institutions like Harvard. We know that the digital edition often includes content not otherwise available, so we hope their subscription model will evolve to include us.
We have online access to print edition content and some web content through databases that provide institutional licenses. This is not the same interface as you get by subscribing to nyt.com (for instance), but it is the contents of the New York Times for years specified. For example, in Factiva, you can browse today’s editions of various papers, including NYT, via the “News Pages.” You can also search NYT in Factiva.
Faculty may be eligible for paid access to the print edition of the WSJ: Professor Print PackÂ
The easiest way to check to see if we have access to a publication is to use HOLLIS, the Harvard Library catalog (hollis.harvard.edu). Simply search HOLLIS by publication name (e.g., Economist.).
