3. About CLA
 a licensing body as defined by the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act
1988, with a legal mandate to perform collective licensing on behalf of
copyright owners
 owned by the Authors Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS) and the
Publishers Licensing Society (PLS)
 agency agreement with the Design and Artists Copyright Society
(DACS)
 reciprocal agreements with 35 similar organisations overseas
 global mandates with 20 publishers

4. … all of which mean that
CLA is authorised to license
still text and images
from print and digital material published in the
UK and many overseas territories.

5. New rights and repertoire
Photocopying and scanning from print
material
As before
Copying and re-use of paid-for digital
material (NB ‘Comprehensive’ Licence)
Now available
to all HEIs
Copying and re-use of free-to-view UK
website content
New!

6. About Digital Material
Paid-for Digital Material
 For example, e-books, e-journals
 Includes content taken from aggregator platforms
Free-to-view website material
 Free-to-view, but may not be free to copy (check terms and
conditions)

7. Why copy from Digital Material?
 One set of terms and conditions applies across all of CLA’s repertoire –
no need to check primary licence agreements each time
 Removes any uncertainty around unstable links for future access
 Where a primary licence agreement is held, users are free to choose
whether to copy under this or the CLA Licence
 Permits use for commercial research purposes
 Permits the making of multiple printouts

8. US Scanning Repertoire
 Change in CLA’s agreement with CCC (all sectors, not just HE)
 Repertoire for scanning must now be opted in on a title level, rather than
automatically included unless specifically excluded (as previously)

9. CLA Title Search
If you need to check for licence coverage, we recommend using
our Title Search

Collection Exercise (survey), via our web-logging tool
