BCU pay fees to participate in a blanket licensing scheme provided by the CLA (Copyright Licensing Agency). This is a scheme that allows us to make proportional copies (scanned or physical) from copyright protected works for the purposes of teaching, research and study.
What CLA covers
What can be copied under the CLA Licence terms:
• One whole chapter from a book.
• Two whole articles from a journal issue.
• One short story, poem or play (not exceeding 10 pages in length) from an anthology.
• One whole scene from a play.
• One whole paper from a set of conference proceedings.
• One whole report of a single case from a volume of judicial proceedings.
Or 10% of the total publication, whichever is the
greater.
There are limitations on how this is applied and all digital copying (i.e. scanned extracts to be included on Moodle or Resource Lists) must be carried out by the Digital Library. More information and a request form for scanning can be found on the library website. It is also possible to request scanned copies from your Resource List.
