There are 2 ways to supply readings to students
LBS subscribed 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 for some reason you need to - please contact the Library. N.B Harvard Business Review prohibits linking to many of its articles even though they are in Business Source Complete. 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 as they often do not clear copyright.
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 owns 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. |
