              Library 2 point what?!
Since we launched TimesSelect in 2005, the
                            online landscape has altered signi鍖cantly.
                                      Readers increasingly
                          鍖nd news through search,
                         as well as through social networks,

                         blogs, and other online sources. In light of
                         this shift, we believe offering unfettered access
                         to New York Times reporting and analysis best
                          serves the interest of our readers, our brand,
                           and the long-term vitality of our journalism.

                         We encourage everyone to read our news and
                                           share it,
                                opinion - as well as

                         link to it and comment on it.
                                    Our highest priority is to
                         increase the reach and impact of
                         our journalism online. The Times's Op-Ed and
                               news columns are now available
                         free of charge, along with Times File
                          and News Tracker. In addition, The New York
                         Times online archive is now free back to 1987
                                     for all of our readers.
