UBC Library is pleased to announce that we will be moving to a new Single Sign On (SSO) approach to Pitchbook. On the morning of Wednesday, March 11th , UBC users will be able to login directly to Pitchbook via the Library Website with their UBC CWL login. Users will no longer need to login multiple times or have to recreate Pitchbook accounts to access.
Our Library Pitchbook Resource Page will be updated with this new SSO login on March 11th. Please continue to use this Resource Page as your access point for Pitchbook.
I just want to give a quick thank you to the UBC Library and IT staff that worked hard to put this change in place. This should greatly increase the Pitchbook User experience at UBC.
Finally, I wanted to mention that Pitchbook has now put in place website security tools to protect against their website data from being mass downloaded. Please note that using Browser Extensions that have “Read and Change” permissions – such as translation browser extensions like Google Translate – will be flagged as website data downloading.
To be clear: Using “Read and Change” Browser Extensions when using Pitchbook will case your account to be blocked. Please disable these Extensions before using Pitchbook.
