CLA Scanning Licence

The University has a licence from the Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA), which allows certain designated members of the University to scan extracts from copyright UK and USA-published printed publications in order to support teaching and learning.

The CLA Trial Scanning Licence allows for the scanning of restricted amounts of copyright material, published in the UK and the USA and not already available to students digitally, so that it can be placed on a secure VLE such as WebCT, or made available in a similar secure manner, or included in PowerPoint presentations, for teaching purposes.

The CLA licence does NOT allow unlimited scanning. All such scanned items have to have copyright notices attached and details have to be recorded and reported to the CLA on a regular basis.

For terms and conditions, procedures to be followed, and advice on scanning, please follow the links below.
