Copyright

When you make photocopies, you are responsible for making sure that you are within the terms of the Copyright Designs and Patents Act, 1988. This allows you to make single copies, for your research and private study, of one article from one issue of periodical or a reasonable proportion of a published work. The University's licence with the Copyright Licencing Agency gives additional rights to copy.
