Dear friends in the UK,
Business Ethics, Oxford University Press (Andy Crane/Dirk Matten/Sarah Glozer/Laura Spence, 5th edition) is available free online to UK university students and Faculty hit by COVID19. Details below of how to gain access.
We are lobbying to have this opportunity extended to the rest of the world. Please let us know if this would be helpful to those outside the UK.
We are pleased to announce that OUP have agreed to widen access to the online version of this book. The request has to come from *UK University Librarians* as follows. Please pass to them if you or your students wish to be able to use this resource over the next few months. We hope it is useful and send all students and colleagues our best wishes.
Here's what you need to do:
1) Ask your university librarian to email support@kortext.com with a note to the company Kortext that this is a request as a direct result of COVID-19.
2) Email the following information, The name of the book (Business Ethics: Managing Corporate Citizenship and Sustainability in the Age of Globalization) and eISBN of the text, or this link: https://store.kortext.com/business-ethics-414463. NB You do not need to be an adopting institution to be granted access.
3) Plus in terms of online resources, OUP are also offering free access to the lecturer resources even for those who do not adopt the text. For anyone who wants access to those resources email the OUP publishing representative for that region who will then grant access. Links to publishing reps can be found here: https://global.oup.com/ukhe/covid-19/?cc=gb&lang=en&. '
NB: The request has to come from the UK Institution's librarians, not individual faculty or students as the book will be made available via the library.
All the very best to all.
