Harvard Business Review full-text restrictions: Home

(3 min 02 sec) Transcript

This is not an issue affecting Walden University alone -- Harvard Business Review set these restrictions for any university or library accessing the  articles via the EBSCO databases.  Journal publishers and database companies sometimes struggle to reach agreements on licensing and access, and unfortunate incidents such as this one are the result.  

Harvard Business Review has restricted access to articles offered in the EBSCO databases, worldwide.   As a result, you will be able to search for and read articles, but you may not be able to print the PDF.  In addition, we cannot link directly to the article in our course guides.  This decision from Harvard has resulted in any error messages about access that you may be seeing.  

If you attempt to access a restricted article through a link, you may get a screen with a message telling you that the article cannot be accessed via that link:
