I agree that it sounds like a license issue, one between your university and Ebsco. So I would think HBR would need to negotiate with Ebsco to address their issues. When I look at Ebsco's terms of use, their language is not nearly as restrictive and applies to all our Ebsco databases.

I would also agree that you should be able to scan your print collection for electronic reserve. Their licenses for electronic access have no bearing on your print subscription that I know of.

The following message was sent to one of the management faculty at our institution. We subscribe to Harvard Business Review in print and also have access to the online through Ebscohost. We have used articles from HBR in our Eres system. The following message seems to indicate that no online posting of articles from HBR would be allowed without going through their course system (which of course means paying for every use!) They discuss "copyright" but aren't they really talking about "licenses" for electronic material. I am thinking that I still should be able to photocopy from our print collection, scan that, and mount on the electronic reserves server. Am I totally wrong?--Carol Resco

To our colleagues in the academic community:

Harvard Business School Publishing has received an increasing number of

inquiries about posting our content on library "e-reserves" and course

platforms. This short note is intended to clarify our policy toward digital
content delivery, and provide you with a set of guidelines to follow.

Harvard Business School Publishing distributes Harvard Business School Cases,
articles from the Harvard Business Review and our family of newsletters, and
books from the Harvard Business School Press for use in MBA and undergraduate
courses in universities worldwide. It is our aim to provide our content to
students and instructors in the format they find most useful and convenient,
whether that is hard copy from our presses, locally reproduced copies, or
digitized files for downloading.

We do not permit the posting of our cases, articles, or chapters on "e-reserve"
course pages for student access, nor in "electronic coursepacks" that link to
our digitized content, nor on course management systems such as WebCT or
Blackboard, unless doing so via our Course Planning system. Such unauthorized
postings are equivalent to distributing our copyrighted content to students, and
doing so without our permission infringes that copyright. This is so even if the
content is being used for the first time and is password-protected, accessible
only to students in the course, and taken down at the end of the course. Please
do not post or display HBSP content in this way. Using our Course Planning tool
is every bit as easy and functional.

Clearances for your coursepacks can be obtained from your institution's

copyright permissions coordinator.
