The New York Times Online Comes to Brown

The University Library, with support from the Office of the Provost, is pleased to announce the availability of The New York Times via a site license for the Brown community. The site license enables Brown community members (current students, faculty and staff) to access the Times‘ current content without an individual subscription or monthly limits.
To help you access The New York Times through the Brown site license, the Library has created a New York Times at Brown Help Page. This page outlines how to activate your account as well as tips and solutions.
Below are some important details about the The New York Times Academic Pass:

This will simultaneously verify your eligibility and grant your first NYTimes.com Academic Pass. Important Note: The initial email from the NY Times may state that your pass is good for 24 hours. Please ignore that message; it should be resolved soon. The pass is good for 1 year.

A Friend of the Library Sends a Letter Regarding Professor Carberry
|
The above letter is from David J. Livingston ’53 who attended a scheduled Josiah Carberry lecture in New York on September 13 in hopes of catching a glimpse of the world-renowned scholar.
Those familiar with this blog might remember that two weeks ago, on September 13, Professor Josiah Carberry was scheduled to attend a screening of Made Not Born in the Rockefeller Library’s DSL (located in Rhode Island).
How did one man appear in two places, hundreds of miles from each other? We’ll never know. Professor Josiah Carberry failed to show at either location.
A local news report alluded to a puffin hunt of some sort as the reason why Professor Carberry was not able to make it to his scheduled commitments.
