We now have access to Greenleaf Publishing’s Sustainable Organisation Library (SOL) via Ingentaconnect. This electronic resource is focused on topics such as sustainability, responsible business and leadership, waste reduction, ethics, corporate governance, development economics and environmental stewardship.

The Sustainable Organisation Library includes a database containing around 10,000 items (book chapters, case studies and research papers). These are drawn from more than 800 book and journal volumes, published by Greenleaf Publishing and a number of partner organizations, including the UN Global Compact, the European Foundation for Management Development, and Oxfam International.

You can access the database by going to the E-Resources A-Z list on the library website, and following the link under ‘S’. Browse the content, or search the database by keyword, author, and/or publication title.

A library catalogue search for ‘Sustainable Organisation Library’ will bring up records for 19 full-text electronic books which are part of the SOL. These include recently published titles on sustainable fashion, anti-corruption, and collective governance.
