As a student you may wish to photocopy, scan, or download information from books, journals, and online resources. You may also want to reuse material in your assignments. This material will almost certainly be covered by copyright. Copyright protects the expression of an idea as it is recorded, but not the idea itself. It protects materials like literary, dramatic, artistic or musical works, sound recordings, broadcasts and films.
Under UK law, it exists automatically on creation; it does not need to be registered. The copyright symbol © indicates that a work is protected, but it is not essential, and works created in the UK are still protected without it.
What can I copy for personal use?
You can legally copy very little for your own use. However, copyright law makes exceptions that allow individuals to copy a very limited amount of material to enable them to undertake:
- Private study
- Non-commercial research
- Criticism and review (provided the work has been lawfully made available to the public and the work must be sufficiently acknowledged)
Notices from the Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) are situated by the printers and copiers in the University and offer guidance on the amount of copying that is permitted. Our CLA license enables students to copy and reuse content from print and digital publications, as outlined in this Copyright Quick Guide
You can copy up to the following amount for each course, or other individual purpose, whichever is the greater:
- 1 whole chapter from a book
- 2 whole articles from a journal issue
- 1 whole scene from a play
- 1 whole paper from a set of conference proceedings
- 1 whole report of a single case from a volume of judicial proceedings
- 1 short story, poem or play (not exceeding 10 pages in length) from an anthology
Or 10% of the total publication.
