The University's licence with the Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) covers a lot of course related copying, but has restrictions on the amount that you can copy, or be supplied with: that is, no more than 10% or a complete chapter from a book, or a complete journal article from an issue, whichever is the greater. There are currently no educational licences which authorise copying a work in its entirety for course related study. Explicit permission from the rights owner would be required and may be subject to clearance fees.
