University of Wyoming Libraries has upgraded its New York Times (NYT) subscription to the All Access package, expanding the digital content available to students, faculty and staff at UW and Wyoming's community colleges.

In addition to full digital access to news via www.nytimes.com and the NYT app, the upgraded subscription now includes Games, Cooking, Wirecutter and The Athletic. Access is provided through a variety of NYT apps.

The All Access package includes:

-- News: Global reporting, analysis and cultural commentary that deepen students' understanding of the world.

-- Games: Word, visual and number games from The Crossword to Wordle and Spelling Bee, that build problem-solving skills, provide a mental break and delight solvers.

-- Cooking: A digital cookbook and cooking guide that supports students' total wellness and kitchen confidence.

-- Wirecutter: Independent product recommendations and reviews based on real-world testing, helping students choose products confidently and feel empowered as consumers.

-- The Athletic: In-depth, personalized sports coverage that can foster media literacy on a subject that students are passionate about.

"We are excited to be able to provide All Access to the New York Times for the added value these additions bring to students, faculty and campus communities," says Shannon Smith, chair of collection management at UW Libraries. "In particular, their offerings of Wirecutter and Cooking enrich our library resources related to financial and consumer topics."
