The IMF Library negotiates licenses with commercial data vendors and other sources to meet the data and information needs of Fund staff.
Having a license does not mean the IMF owns the content. A license is equivalent to a permission to use the content according to the terms of the license. Think of it as renting rather than owning.
Make sure you understand:
- Who the authorized users are.
- How you can use particular data or content.
