Enjoy your last free Paul Krugman op-ed. After this one, rumor has it that he and the other NY Times op-ed mavens will be hidden behind the lock and key of subscriptions. CNN.com saw the error of their ways and restored free access to video after trying to get people to pay for it. Here’s to hoping that the NY Times as the same revelation. I know the special seekret way to see archives of the Statesman via my public library account. I wonder if that’s the way around this too? Stay tuned…
Update: Sure enough, I can still get my Krugman fix via the Austin Public Library Reference Databases – Newspapers & Current Events page. From there, I just hit the Remote Access link for InfoTrac, entered my library card number and then searched for Krugman in articles dated since Aug. 31. I was presented with his latest editorial, “The Way It Is” at the top of the list. Hooray for Austin Public Library and TexShare.
