  11. Embargoes • 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]

  12. Do Everlasting Embargoes Exist? • 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
