The Economist will be available in OverDrive’s Magazine collection until January 31, 2023.
New requirements by the publisher of The Economist restrict readers who borrow a title to a maximum 24-hour lending period. After 24 hours, a reader who wants to continue to read the same issue can no longer access it remotely.
OverDrive has decided to not support this change in access. As a result, all editions of The Economist will be removed from OverDrive Magazine collections effective February 1, 2023. The last issue available for customers to borrow will be January 28, 2023. All back issues will also be removed from collections on February 1, 2023.
Print subscriptions are available at the Bill and Helen Norrie, Henderson, Millennium, Pembina Trail, Louis Riel and St. Vital libraries, and specific issues can be requested and sent to other branches for holds.
