NEW YORK TIMES

Several years ago the Yale Law Library became the first law school to obtain an institutional license for digital subscriptions to the New York Times (this is restricted to Yale Law School students, faculty, and staff).  Included in the institutional license are access to nytimes.com and New York Times smartphone and tablet apps.  The academic license does not include crossword puzzle access.

If you did not receive a welcome email, please contact Fred Shapiro at fred.shapiro@yale.edu and he can add you to our account.  People who already had a personal digital or print account can switch to our license by contacting edu@nytimes.com.

WALL STREET JOURNAL

The Law Library also pioneered among law schools in providing an institutional digital license for the Wall Street Journal.  Now, this has been expanded to a campuswide subscription.

To access Yale University’s digital subscription to the Wall Street Journal (including mobile apps), go to: https://partner.wsj.com/partner/yaleuniversity
If you are off campus, you will need to connect via VPN prior to accessing the link.

To access content from off-campus without VPN and to use the Wall Street Journal mobile app, create a personal account using your @yale.edu e-mail address and a new, unique password of your choosing. Those with existing accounts under the old Law School license, do not need to re-register.

WASHINGTON POST

Recently, the Law Library initiated negotiations leading to a campuswide digital license for the Washington Post.  See below for information from the University Library explaining the access to the Washington Post online and its apps.

Who has access to the Washington Post online?
Current Yale University student, faculty or staff members have access to the Washington Post online. The Washington Post  is accessible to anyone on the Yale network, including Yale Secure Wireless and VPN.  Authorized users do not include affiliates of Yale New Haven Hospital.

What about if I am off campus?
To access content from off-campus without VPN, create a personal account using your @yale.edu e-mail address. A personal account will also provide access to the mobile app. Create your personal account  here.

How does the registration process work?

1. While on the Yale network or connected to VPN, go to the Yale University Library’s registration page for the Washington Post:  https://subscribe.washingtonpost.com/specialoffer/#/group/yale*You must be on the network during this first step in the registration process*
2. Fill out the registration form using your Yale email address
3. A verification email will go to your Yale email address. Follow the link in this message to complete the registration process.
4. You now have an account with the Washington Post!
5. While logged in with your verified Yale email address, you have full access to https://www.washingtonpost.com/whether you are on or off campus
6. You also can download the Washington Post’s apps to any iOS, Android, or Kindle Fire device

Where can patrons receive support for using the apps?
If patrons have specific questions about downloading or using the Washington Post’s apps, these should be funneled through the Post’s customer care team. Individuals can submit a ticket through the Post’s  Help Center.  They can also email help@washpost.com.

Non-Classed Items in the Faculty Reserve Collection

• What are “Non-classed” items?
  Books, DVd’s or even print outs like the Moot Court Briefs, given to us to be place on reserve for a short period of time (for an exhibit, a movie presentation, etc)
  These items for the most part do not belong to the library, so they are non-catalog.
  Where are they shelved?
  In the back of the Faculty/Permanent Reserve area, at the end of the regular collection (bottom shelf along with the oversize items)
  How long do they circulate for?
  Same as the other items in the Faculty/Permanent Reserve collection: 3 Hours, or overnight, if the person is checking it out an hour before the Circulation Desk is closing.
  Can you give me an example of what a non-classed item looks in Morris?
  Sure: http://morris.law.yale.edu/record=b1235938~S3

VPN (Virtual Private Network)

Installing Yale VPN Yale uses the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility client to connect to the VPN server.
This Cisco client can be downloaded by going to http://access.yale.edu and logging in with your Yale NetID and password. An installation wizard will automatically download and install the Cisco client. After this is done, you can connect to the Yale VPN by finding the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility client in your Programs list in the Start Menu of your PC or in the Applications folder of your Mac. You will need to use your Duo MFA client to establish a VPN connection.
NOTE: In the event that the wizard is unable to automatically download and install the Cisco client, it will display a link to manually download and install the client. In this case, after successfully installing it manually with the installer provided, you will notice the Connect field in the Cisco client is blank. Please enter access.yale.edu in that field and click Connect to log into the VPN.

Using Yale VPN To connect to the Yale VPN, launch your previously installed Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility client from your Mac’s Application Folder or your PC’s Start Menu and click Connect. If there is nothing in the Connect field, please enter access.yale.edu then click Connect. Please enter your NetID in the Username field and your NetID password in the Password field. The Second Password field is where you specify the Duo Authentication Method you are using. The options are outlined below:

• push
  • This will send you a Duo push notification.  An internet connection via cellular data or WiFi is required.
• sms
  • This will send an SMS text message to your mobile device with a passcode.  A cellular connection is required.
• phone
  • This will initiate a phone call to your device.  A cellular connection or landline is required.
• a 6-digit passcode
  • Retrieve this code from your mobile device.  To do so, open the Duo Mobile app.  Click the key to the right of Yale University to reveal a one-use passcode.  Enter this six-digit number to authenticate.  No internet or cellular connectivity is required – you can retrieve codes even when your device is in airplane mode.

FAQs on Using Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) while traveling
I will have my smartphone but I don’t have an international data plan and WiFi connectivity may be unreliable, how can I authenticate?
You can authenticate by generating a passcode using the Duo Mobile App. This authentication method does not require Internet or cellular access and can be used when your device is in airplane mode. The Duo Mobile App stores multiple passcodes and will automatically refresh when your smartphone connects to a WiFi network.
To generate a passcode open the Duo Mobile App, then click the Key icon to the right of the Yale University entry. Enter the six-digit code to authenticate.

I will not have a device with me that has the Duo Mobile App installed, how can I authenticate?
Please email law.help@yale.edu and we can loan you a hardware token. This is small USB drive sized device that generates passcodes indefinitely without a connection to the Internet.

I lost my only device with the Duo Mobile App on it, what do I do?
In the event that you unexpectedly find yourself without your Duo enabled device and without any way of getting into MFA services at Yale, you can contact law.help@yale.edu and we can assist you remotely by generating temporary passcodes for you and/or registering a new phone or device.

After business hours you can also contact the Yale ITS help desk (24 hours/day) for assistance with MFA by calling (203)432-9000. Instructions on how to register a new phone with the same phone number are available at http://law.yale.edu/mfa.
How can I check the devices and phones I have setup in Duo?
Review your setup Go to http://access.yale.edu > login with your NetID and password > select My Settings & Devices (left column, before you choose an authentication method) Add Devices Go to http://access.yale.edu > select Add a new device > follow the prompts to add a tablet, landline or secondary mobile phone.
