Harvard Business Review is accessible through EBSCOhost's Business Source Ultimate database. Students may have trouble using the EBSCOhost permalinks within their course in Canvas because Harvard Business Publishing, the publisher of Harvard Business Review, does not permit the posting of direct links to articles in learning management systems. In addition to prohibiting the posting of direct links, Harvard Business Publishing also places printing and saving restrictions on the Top 500 List of articles in Harvard Business Review. These restrictions will automatically appear in Business Source Ultimate and the record will have a yellow bar above the article title. Here is a link to the Top 500 List from 2013: http://www.ala.org/rusa/sites/ala.org.rusa/files/content/sections/brass/Harvardbusinessreview/HBR_EBSCO_500_List_2013.pdf
