This is done by filling out the form available here and emailing the filled out form to singleclick@hbsp.harvard.edu. They will send you the link which you store on a secure, password-protected intranet site so that only the people your department pays for will have access to the cases. To find out about other options go to the following website: http://hbsp.harvard.edu/list/rights-permissions or call the Customer Service Department at (800) 545-7685.

Please note the following statement from the publisher: “Harvard Business Publishing prohibits the posting of cases, articles, or chapters on “e-reserve” course pages for student access or in “electronic coursepacks” that link to our digitized content on course management systems such as Moodle or Blackboard …”

If you have any questions, please contact either Bethany Sewall or Esther Gil at Penrose Library.
