Datastream is now available via Workspace from LSEG. Register for a Workspace licence using these instructions Registering for a Workspace account and you can choose Datastream as an add-in. Once you have an account, you can use Workspace (and Datastream) on your own PC/laptop.

LSEG provides video and Teams training on Datastream via their Help pages.
You can also contact the Library if you need any help to get started.
