CLA HE Licence and the Scans for Teaching Service
UAL holds a licence with The Copyright Licensing Agency Ltd (CLA) that permits the photocopying, scanning and re-use of limited extracts from copyright protected books, journal, magazines and other periodicals published in printed form. Full licence details are posted above the photocopiers in each Library.
The Scans for Teaching service operates in compliance with the CLA HE Licence and allows academic staff at UAL to request and legally use digital copies of copyright materials in their teaching and provide students with accessible course materials via UAL’s Virtual Learning Platform, Moodle. To comply with the licence, all requests for scan are subject to specific conditions and reporting requirements.
Library Services, Legal Affairs and the Teaching and Learning Exchange are partners with academic staff to embed these processes into academic practice. For more information and support on copyright compliance under the terms of the licence, please email copyrightnoticeform@arts.ac.uk.
