The NLA Licence

The NLA Licence held by the University covers:

• all national UK newspapers
• 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 NLA Licence and will require separate consent.

Limitations

The NLA Licence does not permit:

• the systematic copying of more than 250 copies of any one cutting taken from any one issue of an NLA newspaper, whether for internal use or for inclusion in course/study packs
• copying and circulation of cuttings beyond University premises
• copying of articles where the author has retained copyright, e.g. freelance journalists (Permission would need to be sought from the author.)
• further copying by the recipient for any person who is not a student or member of staff.

Please note: 
The University does not subscribe to the NLA's Digital Licence therefore digital copying is not permitted.
