However, some users have experienced issues trying to utilize their existing accounts. If you are unable to successfully link your existing account with UVM’s group license, please contact edu@nytimes.com and/or the Howe Library reference desk for assistance.
 
Q: When I set up an account linked to the UVM group license, am I required to use my UVM e-mail address?
