Find Journals and Articles

This guide provides an overview of how to find articles and journals through Buley Library.

Access the NYT through Buley!

Access to the New York Times site license and app is now provided by Buley Library!

NYT access will be a little different than accessing our other databases.  Instead of going through the library site and logging in with your SCSU credentials when off campus, you should go to accessNYT.com to create an account with your SCSU email address.  You can create a new account or link an existing account to SCSU access.  Once you have done this, you can go straight to nytimes.com or download the NYT app onto your device and log in. For detailed instructions on how to set up your account, keep reading.  If you have any questions during the process, use the Buley chat or email Hayley Battaglia (battagliah1@southernct.edu).
