Copyright is an important consideration when making any third-party material available to your students. Responsibility for any copyright infringement rests with the person making the copy.
Photocopying, downloading and scanning materials such as book chapters and journal articles are most likely to be subject to copyright restrictions. The university HE Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) Licence covers photocopying and scanning of most UK publications and some US and other international publishers.
Briefly it allows:
Photocopies may be made by academics and students for distribution in the classroom.
Academic staff requiring digital copies should submit digitisation requests via the Digital Scanning Service form. The team will check that the material is covered by the Licence and that the university has a legitimate copy, retrieve the item from stock, digitise the chapter or article, include the appropriate copyright notice and send a link which can then be used to make the text available to students through Canvas or reading lists.
Currently the terms of the CLA licence permit one chapter from a book, one article from a journal or magazine issue (or 10%, whichever is greater) to be digitised or copied in support of any one course module.
