Simmons University Library 101: Student Benefits

A general guide to the services offered by the Simmons University Library.

Boston Globe

The library provides complete access to BostonGlobe.com for all current students, staff, and faculty members. You have to create an account here using your Simmons email. You have to re-subscribe annually using the same form, email, and password.

Museum of Fine Arts

All Simmons community members get free access to the Museum of Fine Arts. All that is required is that you show your Simmons ID to the front desk, give them your Simmons email, and then they will give you your ticket. The free entrance is only for the ID holder and cannot be extended to non-Simmons members.

New York Times

Simmons Library provides complete access to NYTimes.com for all current students, staff, and faculty members through a Group Pass. Individual registration is required annually. To register or renew visit this link - Simmons University New York Times - and use your Simmons email. Be sure you are consistent with the variation of your email that you use (firstname.lastname or username) because NYT will only recognize one.

The Gardner Museum

The Gardner requires advance, timed ticket purchasing. When you are purchasing your ticket on the Gardner website use the promo code SIMMONS to waive the ticket price. The museum staff may ask to see your Simmons ID so be sure to bring it with you.
