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

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
