Policy Commons

After a successful trial in October 2023, we are delighted we have managed to secure a subscription to Policy Commons. We received some great feedback from academics about how the platform would fit in with teaching and learning in Schools including :

“This is an absolute treasure, especially for my research. I am also sure it will be an invaluable teaching resource for the environmental law module starting next semester.”

“There are huge amounts of so-called ‘grey’ policy literature that students working and being taught policy-oriented skills and modules cannot access because it is fragmented, hosted by various institutions and the organisations which commissioned such reports. Policy Commons makes the universe of policy-relevant literature, which is often the cutting edge of a field and more up-to-date than academic literature, accessible to students through just one easily searchable source. This is a highly recommended resource, which improves student skills, research and their written work”.

So if you aren’t familiar already, the database is one resource to locate publications from policy experts, NGO’s and think tanks. Publications include :
-The Council of Europe
-Environmental Law Institute
-European Parliamentary Research Service
-Center for Security Studies
-OECD
-World Bank Group
-United Nations
-International Institute for Environment and Development

This short video from Policy Commons tells you a little bit more

Upgrade to Business Source Ultimate

For many years we have subscribed to a business database from EBSCO. This provides access to a range of content including journal articles, trade pieces, industry reports and company information. We have just signed for an upgrade to move from Business Source Complete to Business Source Ultimate.

EBSCO have included a title list which is available here.

We are delighted to expand our content from this supplier and more importantly the terms of the licence now allow us to directly link to articles from the core journal, Harvard Business Review from our online reading lists (available in Leganto).

We are currently updating our help materials to reflect the name of the expanded product.

The search page and functionality remain the same once you enter the database.

You’ll just notice the name change along the top
