Bloomberg Terminal Access at Stanford

Bloomberg Terminals are available to current Stanford faculty, staff, and students for Stanford-related academic research purposes. The Terminals must be accessed onsite in-person.

• At the Stanford GSB Library, there are multiple Bloomberg Terminals in the Trader's Pit. See signage next to the monitors for information about which terminals include access to the Bloomberg Terminal and how to log in.
• At Green Library, there is one terminal near the Velma Denning Room.
• The Law Library has two terminals. Contact the Law Library Reference Team for additional information and support.

Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF)

You can find some BNEF reports in our Bloomberg Terminals, but the product "Bloomberg New Energy Finance" is a separate product. BNEF doesn't provide academic subscriptions, which means the only option is to get a single-user subscription that also requires a finger print reader for the authorized individual to use the platform.

Bloomberg Market Concepts (BMC)

This is a self-paced course that introduces you to financial markets. You will receive a certificate of completion when finished.

To access for free:

1. Log into the Bloomberg Terminals on campus.
2. In the command line, enter BMC and click <Go>.
3. Register to take courses.
