The Library licences access to e-books, e-journals and datasets for the use of current students, faculty and staff of the School only. Infringement of our licence terms puts our digital library at risk and can lead to the termination of access to a resource for all LBS users. You, as an authorised user, are responsible for ensuring that your use of the resources complies with the licence terms and conditions.

Our licences allow you to make use of these resources personally and for educational purposes only. You must not:

• share your login details with others, whether co-authors or other students
• share downloaded materials in any format with unauthorised users or generative AI
• use the resources for any commercial purpose, including internships and consulting activities

These broad principles apply to all resources though the terms of each licence do vary. If you have any questions about the licensing of a specific electronic resource, please email library@london.edu.
