Starting 8/1/2013, Harvard Business Review changed its policy on printing some of its most-read articles. The top 500 articles have been set to "read only," which means that they cannot be printed. These restrictions extend to emailing, saving and persistent links which means that they cannot be posted in a CMS. A PDF of the article may be downloaded and saved, but printing has been disabled within the file. Students are welcome to search and find them in Business Source Premier and read them at their convenience.
The spreadsheet above is a list of the 500 articles impacted by this change. If you have any problems printing an HBR article, please consult this list to see if it appears; if so, it has been designated as "read only." If it is not on this list, please contact me or another business librarian and we will troubleshoot the problem.
For further information on these restrictions from Harvard Business School Publishing, please refer to the American Library Association's RUSA/BRASS Statement on Harvard Business Review Pricing & Access.
