INSEAD Research & Learning Hub - Services

All current INSEAD members with a badge can borrow Research & Learning Hub materials. 

Only books and DVDs can be checked out. Other R&L Hub items must be used in the Hub or accessed online, where available.

Research & Learning Hub materials can be checked out either at the General Information Desk or using the self-check machine. A valid INSEAD badge must be presented. Special assistance with loans (overdues, reservations, etc.) is only available when R&L Hub staff is present. A security alarm sounds if a user takes unchecked materials out of the R&L Hub, as a reminder that documents have not been properly checked out. Users are responsible for all materials checked out under their name and are liable to be billed if the books are lost. 

Users on the Abu Dhabi Campus must use the self-service checkout system. Ask a Specialist for help.

Although there are no fines for overdue books, the user's borrowing privileges will be blocked until all overdue materials are returned. Overdue notices are sent at the due date. Any book overdue for 2 months is considered lost (four days for short loans).

Users will be charged for replacement of lost materials, and an invoice is sent to the individual who fails to return the book.  The amount invoiced is based on the book's price, except when the book is out of print. In this case, the amount is three times the book's price. Invoices can be paid by cheque or cash.

The Research & Learning Hub’s collection of books can be searched using the R&L Hub Catalogue.

For books not in our collection, the Hubs welcome your suggestions. Use this form to request a book.

Executive participants can access electronic resources on campus, as well as in the Research & Learning Hub, for the duration of the programme on campus. 

For modular programmes, if participants do not have an INSEAD network account and if the Programme Director believes it necessary to have access off-campus between modules, a group password can be set up. It will allow access to most of the electronic resources and will expire at the end of the programme.

Please contact Veronica Hu in advance to discuss possibilities
