This business model seems very short-sighted to me.   Many students are too poor to obtain an individual subscription, but if they use this journal while they are obtaining their degrees, they would be more likely to become subscribers in the future.

It seems to me they are simply not wanting to offer subscriptions to libraries. As far as I can tell from their website, a print subscription is available for private individuals or for “educators,” namely faculty or students.

 

When this whole debacle started, I tried contacting them several times about an online site license and never received a reply. I think we all need to be very clear with our faculty about this situation and leave it to them to put pressure on HBR to change these anti-academic practices.

Hi All,

 

One question - does Harvard Business Review still offer a online site license for academic libraries? I called them and several people there said they no longer offer this which I find hard to believe. We have ABI/Inform here and not Business Source so I’d be curious to know how much Harvard charges for a site license if that’s even still an option.

Hi Ken,

 

Thanks so much for your note about this. I wasn’t aware that EBSCO was dropping 2015 print subscriptions for HBR. I don’t recall ever receiving any notice of this change.

Hello!

Earlier this year, we received notification from EBSCO that they will no longer be able to handle renewals/new orders for print subscriptions to the Harvard Business Review (HBR).

Our Library subscribes to the print HBR and has online access via Business Source Complete. With all of the article use restrictions for HBR, has anyone just been relying on Business Source Complete for their access? If so, how are you making professors aware of the article use restrictions, as stated on each HBR article on Business Source Complete?

For those who aren't familiar, this is the HBR Notice of Use Restrictions on each article:

Harvard Business Review and Harvard Business Publishing Newsletter content on EBSCOhost is licensed for the private individual use of authorized EBSCOhost users. It is not intended for use as assigned course material in academic institutions nor as corporate learning or training materials in businesses. Academic licensees may not use this content in electronic reserves, electronic course packs, persistent linking from syllabi or by any other means of incorporating the content into course resources. Business licensees may not host this content on learning management systems or use persistent linking or other means to incorporate the content into learning management systems. Harvard Business Publishing will be pleased to grant permission to make this content available through such means. For rates and permission, contact permissions@harvardbusiness.org.

 

Thanks,
