When making photocopies, it is essential that you keep within the law relating
to copyright as expressed in the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.
Members of the University of Lincoln may also copy under the terms of the University's
licensing agreement with the Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA).
Before you start photocopying, please read the notices fixed to any of the
photocopiers. As a rough guide you are allowed to make one copy, for personal
study use, of an extract from a copyright work subject to the points below:
- you may copy no more than one chapter from a book or no more than 5% of
a given work, whichever is the greater. A poem, short story, short literary
work or photograph is regarded as a 'work' in itself and may be copied as
long as a maximum of ten pages is not exceeded.
- you must not copy more than one article from any single issue of a periodical/journal
or set of conference proceedings.
If you are in any doubt as to what you may or may not copy, please ask any member of
the Library and Learning Resources staff. More detailed information about copyright is available from the Copyright Licensing
Agency (CLA)'s website: www.cla.co.uk
