The NLA Licence held by the University covers:
- all national UK newspapers
And the following regional titles:
- Evening Chronicle
- Sunderland Echo
- The Journal
- The Northern Echo
This allows the University to make copies of articles, reports or other items published in the above newspapers only for distribution to its staff for internal use or to its students for educational and instructional purposes, provided that the title of the newspaper and its date of publication should be clearly noted together with a statement declaring that it was copied under the terms of the NLA Licence.
Copying from other regional titles, periodicals, or foreign newspapers is not covered by the University's NLA Licence and will require separate consent.
