Many of you will be familiar with setting up stable links to articles from the library article databases (more info on CBS Share).
But there is so much equally interesting contents that you can offer your students, either by stable linking or by embedding information in your LEARN courses.
OECD publishes a wealth of publications and data. Simply providing your students with a reference to whatever you want them to familiarize themselves with is, of course, an option and even a very educational one. In this way the students will learn how to navigate relevant parts of the OECD iLibrary database, something that may indeed prove very useful for them in their future work, both as CBS students and professionally.
But if you want to offers your students quick access and spiff up the look of your LEARN course, here are some examples of and quick tutorials on how it can be done. Check out the LEARN project room to see the examples.

The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) collects data and makes forecasts, analyses, and theme reports for individual countries as well as for geographical regions (e.g. Europe, Asia, and the Americas) and the world.
CBS Library has provided access to EIU data and analyses for many years, but with their recent launch of a redesigned interface, known as EIU Viewpoint, users can now navigate and collect data more smoothly than ever before.
Build reports
You can build your own reports via dropdown menus and tap into themed EIU reports with analyses on current topics and across geographies, such as Corona, Global goods and service trade, US-China competition, and Environment and sustainability.
Explore topics
In the Topics menu, you will find reports on five key EIU topics: Politics, Economy, Policy, Business environment, and Commodities. The Commodities section contains insights reports on a wide host of commodities. In the remaining four sections, you can filter contents by geography.
Use your own country to find out what to expect
Looking up a country or a topic that you know well, will give you an idea of the kind of data you can expect from EIU Viewpoint, also when you endeavor into unknown terrain.
Data can be exported as tables and graphs or to Excel. All tables and graphs are accompanied by information about data source.
