The Law Library offers a free group digital subscription to the New York Times online (http://www.nytimes.com/) for current Law School students.   If you haven’t already, you should expect an email from help@nytimes.com inviting you to set up your free access using our subscription.

Please note that you must use your Cornell NetID email address (e.g. js123@cornell.edu) to set up your access.  Do not use an email alias (e.g. johnsmith@cornell.edu).

If you already have a paid New York Times subscription, you will not receive this email.  You are, however, still eligible to switch to the Law Library subscription.

Nina Scholtz (nes78@cornell.edu), the Digital Resources Librarian, manages the Law Library subscription.  Please contact Nina with any questions about the subscription or if you want to switch from your paid subscription.

For starters we recommend checking out our research guide Using the Law Library 101. You’ll find information on everything from hours of operation and collections to scheduling personalized research consultations.  101libguide
