You and your users can access online the full text of The New York Times on the day of publication. You also can access the full text of the most recent 90 days of the publication, and abstracts of articles published from 1994 to the present. The author, descriptor, geographic name, named people and title or headline indexes are double-posted as both keyword and phrase indexes.
EPIC also offers keyword searching by article type and by all indexes.
Here are some tips to help you effectively search this new database. Use keyword searching to retrieve the largest number of records. If you want comprehensiveness on your topic, a basic keyword search, which scans the abstract, title and descriptor fields, will provide the best results. This is the default search for both services, and you do not have to enter a label. You can jump right to the full text from the brief results list by clicking on the full text icon.
