What can I copy?

 Print

• All printed books, journals, magazines, law reports and conference proceedings published in the UK are covered by the Licence, unless they have been specifically excluded.
• For printed books, journals, magazines, law reports and conference proceedings published outside the UK, many are covered – but it depends on whether we have a reciprocal repertoire agreement in place and/or a direct international mandate with the relevant publisher. Individual exclusions can still apply.
• If you want to scan from a US-published title and we don’t hold a direct international mandate from the publisher, take particular care, as these are treated differently: they must be specifically opted in for scanning.

Digital

• Many digital publications are also covered. Many publishers have opted their digital titles in to allow copying under the CLA Education Licences.
• Digital titles published overseas usually need to be specifically opted in, although some of our reciprocal repertoire agreements include all digital titles published in that country unless they’ve
  been specifically excluded. We also have global mandates that include digital titles.
• You can check Licence coverage quickly and easily using Check Permissions.

Check Permissions
Our Check Permissions tool lets you check whether a publication is covered by the licence. You can access it from our website.

What should I do if a work from which I’ve copied becomes excluded?
Any digital copies should be deleted within one month of notification from us; however, if any of these digital copies are still being used for a course at the time of notification, you can retain them until the end of the academic year.

This text is intended for use as guidance only and not as a substitute for the CLA Licence terms themselves, which should be read in full. In the event of conflict between the two, the Licence shall prevail. For permissions not listed above, please contact the publisher direct.
