Subject: Question re: Harvard Business Review Articles From: "Gary Hunter" <Gary.Hunter@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2009 13:05:57 -0500 |
To All, Look to the scope of permission that was in the license granted to the library database. What permissions have been granted regarding use of the copyrighted works? If there is language that is on point, it should resolve the issue. If the language is ambiguous, then it becomes a contract interpretation issue....Gary Gary B Hunter System Director for Intellectual Property Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System Wells Fargo Place 30 7th St. E., Suite 350 St. Paul, MN 55101 Phone: (651) 297-3696 Fax : (651)-649-5749 Email: gary.hunter@xxxxxxxxxxxx >>> "Rosemary Hartigan" <RHartigan@xxxxxxxx> 8/11/2009 10:06 AM >>> Hi Everyone, Our school has Harvard Business Review in several of our library databases. This semester we were told that we could not include Harvard Business Review articles in our syllabi unless we had the students purchase the articles. We include other articles from journals in our databases, and students download the articles from the library. But now, we are prohibited from this practice with HBR articles. My understanding is that Harvard Business School Publishing's position is that our license for HBR is for research only and not for assignments. So students may read HBR articles from the library if they find them in the course of research, but we may not guide them to the articles via assignments. It's fine if they stumble upon them, but we can't recommend an article. I don't know if I can post a paper with HBR references. My response to this is not to assign any HBR articles, but this seems like a very heavy-handed infringement on academic freedom. Has anyone else experienced this prohibition? I'd be interested in learning about your views, particularly if anyone has some related research into the question. Thanks.
