Digital Subscription of “The Economist” Discontinued

Post Published: January 26, 2023

Effective February 1, the online format of the newspaper “The Economist” will no longer be available digitally through Arlington Public Library’s OverDrive digital magazines. All editions, including back issues, of “The Economist” will be removed from OverDrive. The last issue available for patrons to borrow will be January 28, 2023. 

The removal is a result of newly required lending model changes by “The Economist” that are not compatible with how magazines are available in OverDrive/Libby. 

The print edition of “The Economist” is currently available at Aurora Hills, Central, Shirlington and Westover Libraries. Starting this spring, print subscriptions will be available at Columbia Pike, Cherrydale and Glencarlyn Libraries. 

“The Economist” is available in text-only format through the free “Business Insights Essentials.” The Gale database encompasses all articles from 1988 to the present and includes the current issue. 

The Library offers similar publications and newspapers, such as “Bloomberg Businessweek” and “Forbes,” through its free Flipster, PressReader and OverDrive services.
