The UIC Library provides access to the New York Times and Wall Street Journal online. Information on signing up for the Times is available at https://researchguides.uic.edu/newspapers/nytacademicpass. Note that you will need your NetID to sign up, and if you would like to use an email associated with an existing account, you will need to disconnect it from that other account.
You can register for the Wall Street Journal with your UIC credentials here, http://wsj.com/uic, and find further information and instructions here: https://researchguides.uic.edu/newspapers/wsj. Note that student access will expire after their graduation date, and faculty and staff will need to refresh their access on an annual basis.
