What is a CLA Licence?
The CLA (Copyright Licensing Agency) licences organisations for photocopying and scanning. The CLA licenses the copying of extracts from books, journals and magazines protected by copyright and published in the UK and 17 other countries. The CLA licence does not cover song lyrics, music sheets or Ordnance Survey maps (the Music Publishers Association is responsible for sheet music). For more information, see the CLA website. The CLA is in no way connected with the Centre for Education & Finance Management or the Performing Right Society.
