Question

How much of a book can I scan for Canvas?

The CLA (Copyright Licensing Authority) copying licence for Queen's allows a single chapter of a book, or 10% of its content (whichever is the greater) to be scanned for use on Canvas.

The copying licence also requires the University to supply details of all books scanned for modules to the CLA - and ensure that a standard cover sheet is attached to any book chapters scanned.

In order to facilitate this, the Library will scan book chapters on request and make available a download link for the chapter that can be copied into Canvas.

Contact your subject librarian if you would like a chapter to be scanned for Canvas.

Further details about this service are available on the Support for Teaching guide

Some titles from US publishers are excluded from the CLA licence along with publications from some counties (e.g. the Netherlands). The Library will inform you if this is the case.
