Get free access to the NY Times, Wall Street Journal, Chronicle of Higher Education and more via UW Libraries
You have free access to the New York Times, Wall Street Journal & Chronicle of Higher Education courtesy of UW Libraries. Here's how to access each:
Create a free New York Times account
Create your free nytimes.com account
Create a free Wall Street Journal account
Create your free wsj.com account
Access the Chronicle & more using Remote Access EZProxy
You can access hundreds of online journals and news publications, including The Chronicle of Higher Education, O'Reilly for Higher Education, the New York Review of Books, The New Yorker, Variety magazine and the Oxford English Dictionary (see the full list), using UW Library's EZProxy tool.
The easiest way to use this library service is to install a special bookmarklet in your web browser. Once you've installed the bookmarklet, you can click on it when visiting a site with a paywall to see if you can access it via UW Libraries. Learn how to install the remote access bookmarklet.
When you're on a website where you need to be authorized as a UW–Madison user to receive full access (like an article page on a journal website), just click the bookmarklet. It will redirect you to a page where you can log in with your NetID and gain access to licensed content. You will know the bookmarklet has worked if you check the website's URL – it should now include "ezproxy.library.wisc.edu" somewhere in the URL.
