I must admit that if I can't print an article off freely from a newspaper, I refer my users to the local Public Library. Many Public Libraries hold microfilm archives of the Times and file several months worth of paper copies of Times, Guardian, Independent, FT.
 
It's certainly much cheaper than paying to download.

Subject: Newpaper copyright

Following hot on the heels of Diane's summary yesterday regarding the NHS copyright licence not covering newspapers, I have just been asked by a PCT employee to get hold of an article from The Times. Does this mean that I am not legally allowed to ask any institution that may have a copy of that paper to send me a photocopy or scanned image? Although I haven't yet checked whether my own organisation has a separate licence to cover newspapers, I think it unlilely that anyone within it would have the relevant edition anyway. Looking at the Times Online I see we would have to pay £10 to acquire a single article!
 
For clarity, if an external organisation were to have the relevant edition to hand, and a licence to photocopy articles from it, would I be legally allowed to request and receive a copy?
 
In case it's of use, the article I've been asked to acquire is "Society's New Seven Deadly Sins", which apparently appeared in The Times on June 18th this year.
 
Many thanks in advance for any advice.
 
Richard.
