Using Karnov documents in teaching
An agreement with Karnov Group has made it possible to use materials in PDF format for teaching purposes.
However, each individual material requires permission. In practice, this means that as a lecturer, you may upload the material to a password-protected platform such as CBS Canvas - not via email or social media like Facebook or similar platforms.
Permission: To obtain this permission, please contact Lotte Risbæk Thomsen (lt.lib@cbs.dk).
Permission must be granted for each document you wish to use.
