Can photocopies be placed in the Librarys Short Loan Collection?
Under the terms of the Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) Photocopying Licence held by Cardiff University, photocopies may be placed in the Short Loan Collection and may be copied by students provided they have been created or acquired in one of the following ways: • from books or journals already in stock and covered by the Photocopying Licence • from items which are ‘copyright waived’ (e.g. HMSO or US Government publications) • from the British Library’s Copyright Cleared Service* • with the written permission of the copyright holder (this must be obtained before the photocopy is added to the collection). *Please note: Photocopies obtained through the standard interlibrary loan service are supplied for the purposes of non-commercial research or private study only, and must not be placed in the Short Loan Collection. For further details see the Information Services guide Interlibrary Loans and Copyright (pdf file).
