Update: Wall Street Journal Live
Hello!
Now that Metro's access to the Wall Street Journal has gone live, we wanted to compare the services that the WSJ, NYT, and Washington Post provide to our customers. All three resources can be accessed on the Metro homepage by clicking on Download&Stream, or Find>Magazines & Newspapers.
WSJ - 3-day access with unlimited passcodes (must create account first time logging on), remote access; customers CAN listen to audio versions of each article; customers CAN save articles if signed in; and customers CAN share articles with friends or on social media.
NYT - 1 day access with unlimited passcodes, remote access; NO audio versions of articles available; customers CAN save articles if signed in; and customers CAN share articles with friends or on social media.
WaPo - 7 day access with passcode, remote access; customers CAN listen to audio versions of each article; customers can NOT save articles; customers CAN share articles with friends or on social media.
Here is a helpful video in case anyone needs a quick refresher on how to help our customers access the WSJ. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions!
Thank you all,

I tried this with the Washington Post and it works. I was not logged into the MLS website since I wanted to test if a library card was needed to access the newspaper. I would say no card necessary, correct?
Anyone, anywhere with internet access can use the MLS link for free to use the websites of these major US newspaper, subject to the conditions outlined?
Hi!
Yes, correct. Anyone, within a branch or at home can access our newspapers and databases. They should need to login the Metro website to view the content. I'm very glad you enjoy the product!
