Although you will need to buy your course texts, most of the additional readings that you will be asked to read can be found online. The Sainsbury Library and the course office provide you with direct links to the full-text of most of the readings and to entries in the online catalogue through embedded URL links we provide via your reading lists: for copyright reasons, most of these will be password protected.

The most important username and password is the Oxford Single Sign-On, which you will receive with your university email address. This is the account you will use to access nearly all the electronic resources, as well as your library account, so that you can see what you have borrowed, renew items online and place holds on books if you need to.

As highlighted in the last newsletter, our Key Business Resources guide (http://ox.libguides.com/business) gives you a quick guide to the databases, what they do, how to access them and some detailed instructions on searching to enable you to get the best out of what Oxford has to offer. Look out for training courses on key databases such as Bloomberg and Capital IQ, and if you would like more detailed help with any other areas of research or have any inquiries regarding the databases, please email Andy (

As always, if you would like to know more about any of these, please email the library on library@sbs.ox.ac.uk.
