There are 2 ways to supply readings to students
LBS resources
You should always link to our subscribed resources: journals, e-books, working papers, the FT.COM etc. Do not upload articles into Canvas. If you need to consult the Library.
N.B Harvard Business Review prohibits linking to many of its articles even though they are in a subscribed database. Please contact the Library for guidance.
Free - web resources.
You should link to free web resources but ensure it is a reliable website that has the rights to the content. Do not bypass paywalls or registration. (A report that is free on the web is not free to save in Canvas unless it is stated explicitly.) Do not use unreliabled websites or sites such as Sci-Hub, ResearchGate, Academia.edu and similar.
Adding PDFs (instead of linking).
Ensure all published material, that you add to Canvas as a file/PDF complies with UK copyright law.
You need to know which one of these apply:
Owned | LBS own the copyright. We own the copyright of LBS cases, Think at London Business School, formerly known as Business Strategy Review. |
Free | The publication/website explicitly states that content may be used for non-commercial (or educational) purposes or it has an appropriate Creative Commons licence. |
Licenced | The book or journal is covered by the CLA licence and you are within the quantity limits. Detail is here. |
Fee | You have purchased the rights to copy for the specific course. |
