The Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) is a commercial organisation owned by the Publisher Licensing Society (PLS) and the Authors Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS). Its remit is underpinned by UK law, most notably Section 36 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 which says that use of multiple extracts within educational institutions must be subject to licence if one is available.
Higher education institutions have a specific licence negotiated with the CLA that covers them for making multiple copies of limited extracts and making them available to registered students.

Contact the Library for further details and advice about how to make use of the licence.
