Online Databases for Academic Libraries
• Nearly all aggregated databases have embargo periods on somefull-text journals
• All journals with embargo periods in EBSCO databases are also embargoed in competing databases (or not in those databases at all)
• All embargoed journals have current abstracts which can link to the current full text via the e-journal (if your library subscribes) [sometimes the EBSCO backfile will be greater than the e-journal backfile]
• For more information see:“Academic Journal Embargoes and Full Text Databases”By: Brooks, SamThe Library Quarterly (University of Chicago Press)July 2003, Volume 73, Issue 3, pp. 243-260[Reprints available upon request]
Embargoes
Online Databases for Academic Libraries
• Unfortunately, everlasting embargoes do exist
• “Unnaturally Halted” is the term used to describe journals impaired in this way
• These journals are different than those that have ceased naturally (i.e. the publisher stops publishing articles)
• This is the most severe form of embargo because no new full text articles are ever added again
• Vendor title lists include an embargo column, but unnaturally halted titles are not marked as embargoed
• In reality, the embargo column for these titles should probably include the infinite symbol
Do Everlasting Embargoes Exist?
