Introducing New York Times.com - NEW Offer through LYRASIS 

Earlier this spring we asked for your responses to a weekly gut check on our LYROFFERS email list for the New York Times.com, and we received the largest number of responses ever for a product gutcheck - 74% of respondents gave New York Times.com a thumbs up rating. 

 

Encouraged by your responses, LYRASIS now is pleased to participate in an inter-consortial offer for New York Times.com and bring the first offer to our members for this unsurpassed aggregation of information and content created and published by The New York Times. The content on the site is generally complete from the mid-1990s, with sporadic but growing availability of content back to 1851.

 

The New York Times.com web site includes all articles, features, interviews, obituaries, columns, and still image, audio, video, and data, text and multimedia published on the The New York Times site since its launch in 1996 (excluding crosswords and some syndicated materials). The gulf between what is published in print and content available on New York Times.com widens with every passing week.

 

Get access to all the critical content from The New York Times, America's newspaper of record for over 150 years through New York Times.com. This annual subscription special offer for LYRASIS Academic members includes 3 levels of access for designated groups or full faculty, staff and students via either email domain or IP range. Offer expires June 30, 2014. Click here for more information or contact Member Support for a quote.

 

If you'd like to receive first notice of new offers like this one, or would like to participate in our weekly gut check emails, subscribe to LYROFFERS today.
