Q.
Access to newspapers and other popular publications

How can I access popular publications such as the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, etc?


A.

We have special digital access to just a few papers (use your HBS email to sign up):

We do have digital editions of many popular newspapers, but not the way you'd usually expect. Most newspapers do not make their digital editions available to institutions like Harvard. We know that the digital edition often includes content not otherwise available, so we hope their subscription model will evolve to include us.

We have online access to print edition content and some web content through databases that provide institutional licenses. This is not the same interface as you get by subscribing to nyt.com (for instance), but it is the contents of the New York Times for years specified.  For example, in Factiva, you can browse today’s editions of various papers, including NYT, via the “News Pages.”  You can also search NYT in Factiva.

Faculty may be eligible for paid access to the print edition of the WSJ: Professor Print Pack 

The easiest way to check to see if we have access to a publication is to use HOLLIS, the Harvard Library catalog (hollis.harvard.edu).  HOLLIS is also linked under the Find menu on the Baker Library website (library.hbs.edu).  Simply search HOLLIS by publication name (e.g., Economist).

Also see Top Business Sources on our website's homepage for links, including the Economist.
