A new HE CLA license comes into force from the 1st August. It covers both scanning and photocopying. It has particular benefits in terms of what now is permissible for electronic copying and digitising.
As with the previous Trial Digitisation License it is possible for the Library to scan articles and chapters of books for you and put them on WebCT. There are obviously limits and rules about what you can do and Katrina Acland of Short Loans can explain these to you if you contact her (on x2284 or ka4). However, unlike the trial license it is possible to scan works from a significant number of US publishers.
The new license also includes provision for copying from e-books and e-journals.
Please contact either Katrina or me if you would like more information about digitising material. Nicki Brain, the University’s Copyright Adviser can give more advice on general copyright queries.
