If you are a student please contact the module co-ordinator.

Module co-ordinators should contact their subject librarian if you would like a book chapter or article to be scanned for Canvas. The CLA (Copyright Licensing Authority) copying licence held by Queen's allows single book chapters and articles to be scanned from print for Queen's Online.

The Library is required to provide this service to ensure CLA licence obligations are met. This includes adding a cover note to ensure author payments, required under the licence. Details of books scanned will also be forwarded to the CLA, as this is also required by the CLA licence. 

Some books 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.

If the article you wish to add to Queen's Online is not available from Library subscriptions, the Library can request a 'copyright cleared' copy from the British Library on your behalf. 

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