Online Databases for Academic Libraries Nearly all aggregated databases have embargo periods on some full-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, Sam The Library Quarterly (University of Chicago Press) July 2003, Volume 73, Issue 3, pp [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?
