NLA licence

The University holds an NLA (Newspaper Licensing Agency) licence covering the print and online versions of all the major UK daily and Sunday newspapers (excluding The Financial Times), as well as some regional newspapers.

This permits up to 250 print copies of any article to be made. However, it does not include images or advertisements, as in most cases the newspaper will not hold the copyright to these.

The NLA licence only covers printing; it does not extend to making digital copies via scanning, downloading etc. If you do not wish to create print copies for your students, it is best practice to either link to the newspaper website homepage and direct students to the article in question.
