Digital Resources: Home

Overview

As a member of the Morgan State community, you have special access to online materials and digital resources through deals that Morgan has with vendors, universities, and partner libraries. Outlined below is a collection of materials that you can access for free through our programs. Please note that in many cases, you will have to sign up for an account. 

The New York Times

Morgan State provides access to two major New York Times websites. The first is the main news page: nytimes.com, which proves unlimited access to news articles as well as: 

To Access the New York Times website, go to accessnyt.com and register an account with your Morgan State campus email address. 

MSU students are also encouraged to take a look at NYT Internship and Fellowship programs, Including the new NYT Corps program focused on underrepresented student journalist development.  

In addition to the main NYT website, Morgan Students, Faculty and Staff enjoy access to educationally oriented content on nytimesineducation.com. This website is a separate system from the main NYT site, and so users must also register an account on NY Times In Education in order to access it. Just like with the main page, creating an account with an official Morgan email address will grant users full access.

 The New York Times InEducation site provides: 

  • Over 1,000 resources published each year to ensure materials are relevant and up to date.
  • Lesson plans
  • News and geography quizzes 
  • Student opinion questions
  • Picture prompts and graph prompts 
  • Current events conversations
  • Writing curriculum 
  • Contests
  • Professional development webinars

If you prefer visual instruction, this video outlines how to register your Morgan-based New York Times account:

 

Kanopy Streaming

Users can access Kanopy in one of two ways: direct connection via standard Morgan account access, or full access through Enoch Pratt Free Library.
