This licence records the terms on which the CLA, as agent for NLA grants a licence to De Montfort University to reproduce articles from NLA Newspapers and NLA Newspaper Websites. The licence permits us to copy and circulate cuttings from certain newspapers (i) for distribution to staff for internal use, and (ii) for distribution to students for their educational and instructional purposes.
An up-to-date list of national newspapers covered by the licensing scheme can be found on Newspaper Licensing Agency website. The University also has a licence extension covering a number of regional and local papers. Multiple copying from newspapers not listed is not covered by the NLA licence or by fair dealing and permission must be sought from the publisher before such copying takes place.
The licence permits the following activities:
Copying, as part of an internal distribution service, of cuttings taken from an NLA newspaper.
Inclusion of photocopies of cuttings in study packs.
