What does having a licence from the Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) mean?
The Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) Higher Education Photocopying Licence (the ‘Licence’) granted by the CLA, acting as agent for authors, artists and publishers, allows students and staff of the University to make photocopies (which would not be permitted under the ‘fair dealing’ or ‘library privilege’ statutory exceptions) without having to seek permission to do so from each copyright owner of published material. The CLA’s User Guidelines are available for downloading and printing at should be displayed prominently near all photocopying machines at the University.
