Using Library Online Resources
The Library subscribes to a wide range of online books, journals and databases, and all of these are subject to copyright restrictions in their license agreements. These cover UEA registered students only and are provided for personal research and private study only.
In most cases you can download, email or print a copy for your own use, but you should not share or download copies for others.
In your teaching, provide durable links to readings as part of your online reading list updating (Talis), rather than uploading a PDF to Blackboard.
If you really need to upload a PDF, use the Library's Digitisation Scanning service which automatically includes a copyright check, covers off any fees for copyright clearance and takes care of the mandatory reporting to the Copyright Licensing Authority (CLA).

The Illustration for Instruction (Teaching) Exception trumps any publisher license terms provided you already have access via a Library subscription.
The Exception for Text and data mining for non-commercial research also trumps any publisher's contract restrictions provided you already have access via a Library subscription. This is a complex area though so we strongly recommend reading through these Guidelines on Text and data mining from Copyrightuser.org. Further changes to this Exception are under consultation.
