Starting Wednesday, September 19, The New York Times will stop charging for access to parts of its Web site.

The Times Select subscription program, which used to charge $49.95/yr to everyone except print subscribers, students & teachers, will be discontinued. The entire site will now be free as well as archival content from 1987 forward and from 1851-1922. Users will be charged for some content from 1923-1986, but current UNC Asheville students, faculty & staff have access, as always, to the NYT from 1851 to the present.

New York Times (1980-present). Searchable full text; East Coast Late Edition. Includes NYT Book Review and NYT Magazine.

New York Times (1851-2001) - Historical Newspaper Collection. Full-image articles from the last 150 years. Includes digital reproductions of every page from every issue -- cover to cover -- in downloadable pdf files.
