The CLA Higher Education Licence
If you are making copies for teaching purposes you should ensure
that you are familiar with the terms of the CLA Higher Education
Licence - do not assume that a publication is covered by this
licence. Certain categories of materials are excluded from the
licence, as are certain specific works. The excluded categories are
(amongst other things) unpublished works and printed music
(including words of songs). The full list of excluded categories
and the specifically excluded works can be found
on the CLA website.
The Higher Education Licence permits paper to paper copying and
scanning (paper to digital copying) of published works (for
example core readings such as book chapters or journal
articles), provided certain conditions are met. The Licence is
restricted in terms of the amount of a published work that can be
copied. So for example it will cover:
- up to five percent of a work OR
- up to one chapter from a book OR
- up to one article from an issue of a journal
Full details of the conditions imposed may be found in the
Licence and the
accompanying
User Guidelines.
If in doubt ask for advice from your
librarian.
