New York Times (nytimes.com)New enhanced access to the nytimes.com. Users MUST first register at http://AccessNYT.com and then use https://www.nytimes.com/ for access afterwards. After registration you will be able to access the resource on any device. Access news articles from 1980 to the present. When accessing it on campus we have NO access to 1923-1980 but if you are off-campus you have 5 articles per day for 1923-1980 content (due to a lawsuit between publisher and vendor), all other years are available on and off campus. We do NOT have access to the cooking app or the full size crossword puzzle, though you will have access to the mini crossword puzzle.
Reading Stamina & Fake News
Reading Stamina
A few of us in The UI Libraries are working with K-12 Teacher Librarians across the state to pull together a bibliography about recent decreases in reading stamina at the the high school level and implications for college/career readiness and success. Let Katie Hassman (katie-hassman@uiowa.edu) know if you'd like to learn more or are interested in assisting with the project.
Fake News
Timothy Arnold, one of our 'fake-news' confronting librarians, is leading conversations amongst our staff about fake news research and what we can do as instructors. Tim is leading conversations around the following two articles during our monthly Teaching Librarians Journal Club. NOTE: On campus patrons will be able to access full-text of these articles by following the links out.
