Changes to Harvard Business Review access via Business Source Complete



We have electronic access to Harvard Business Review all the way back to the first issue in 1922 (about 13,000 articles and counting) via Business Source Complete, an EBSCO database. This access has always allowed users to print and/or save all of the articles, as well as to read them on screen.

Since August, the Harvard Business Review is now restricting access via EBSCO’s Business Source databases for 500 of its articles to read-only access. This means Business Source Complete users can still access and read those 500 articles on-screen, but they will no longer be able to either print or save them.

The remaining 12,500 (approx.) Harvard Business Review articles can still be saved and printed from Business Source Complete.

The key things to note are:
  1. The vast majority of Harvard Business Review articles can still be saved and printed out from Business Source Complete. 
  2.  The 500 articles that can no longer be saved or printed out can still be accessed and read on-screen.
  3. Aungier St library also has a print subscription to the Harvard Business Review, so students and staff can still photocopy an article that cannot be printed out (subject to the terms of DIT’s Irish Copyright Licence Agreement).
