Digital Content Store (DCS) and reporting

Our Digital Content Store (DCS) is an optional digitisation management tool.

At its core is a repository of PDF extracts created by HEIs under the CLA HE Licence. For those HEIs that choose to use the DCS, the platform streamlines content and permissions workflows – as well as automating the Licence reporting process and requirements checks mentioned for digital copies. CLA also has a ‘Third Party Technology Providers’ (TPTP) licence which enables licensed technology providers to remove the Licence’s reporting burden for their HEI customers as well. HEIs not using the DCS or an appropriate platform provided by a licensed TPTP need to annually report, “weed” and manage digital copies themselves.

Further information about the Digital Content Store is available on our website. If you are interested to find out more please contact [e-mail]. 

This guidance is provided for guidance only. Please note that it does not substitute for the terms and conditions of the Licence, and that, in the event of a conflict between the two, the Licence prevails.
