Online Resources For Rutgers Students You May Not Know You Have
Read Time:2 Minute, 35 Second

While Rutgers, Camden students know that their tuition covers the costs of their academic courses first and foremost, what most remain unaware of are some of the incredibly valuable online resources that are included in the term bill fees.
These resources are tools that cannot be utilized for free without access through an active Rutgers email, which is why students are encouraged to take full advantage of them while they can before they graduate.
Not all of the resources available are for strictly academic use— students may find that they can enjoy personal use of the assets for leisure, creativity, and lifestyle. While the list is too extensive to provide in full, here are just a few that students may take an interest in.
A Subscription to The New York Times
NYTimes.com is one of the most popular digital media websites providing news, blogs, reviews, podcasts, and much, much more, however its articles and other content are usually blocked behind a subscription paywall when appearing on browser searches. Thankfully, Rutgers students do not have to worry about being unable to read the latest New York Times content by connecting their university email.
Stream Films With Kanopy
Kanopy is a streaming service that Rutgers Students are able to use to watch films and videos that range from educational content to popular movies and cult classics. It’s a fantastic site to discover new titles for those interested in film.
Adobe Creative Cloud
Rutgers Students have free access to Adobe Creative Cloud products. Art students may already be aware of this- programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe After Effects are used in plenty of the art courses offered at Rutgers, but anyone interested in photography, graphic design, digital art, animation, etc. can benefit greatly from these tools. Information about accessing the Adobe Creative Cloud products, which are typically valued at hundreds of dollars for those without student access, is available on the Rutgers IT page.
Microsoft OneNote
Alongside other Microsoft Office 365 products that Rutgers students are able to freely utilize, one tool in particular that can improve the in-class experience for any student is Microsoft OneNote: a software designed specifically for note-taking. It allows for efficient annotating, sketching, organizing, and bulleting with lots of versatility
And of course, hundreds of databases
Databases are a resource that students certainly are informed about, yet many overlook the privilege of having troves of knowledge at their fingertips, and may not realize that they cover information on virtually anything– they aren’t simply confined to academic topics. The Rutgers Libraries Databases page provides an extensive list of the ones they offer, which cover a broad range of media. Students are encouraged to check them out, read about topics that interest them, and take advantage of all there is to learn. Subscriptions to databases such as JSTOR can be around $200 without Rutgers Libraries access, which expires after a student graduates. That’s why there’s no better time than now to educate oneself with some of the most valuable resources there are.
