The Library Copyright Team have developed an online copyright advisor to help staff and students to quickly answer the most frequently asked questions on commonly used resources. It is available 24-7 to help you with the more straightforward copyright questions. It answers FAQs on seven types of resource:

·         Audio files

·         Book chapters

·         Computer code

·         Images

·         Journal articles

·         Maps

·         Video files

You can try it out here or link in to it from our copyright pages.

The design is very plain at present, with short, positive answers. We suggest alternatives rather than forbidding certain actions. Some of the answers can be a bit “wordy”, so we added traffic lights to give you quick visual cues. We also added links where possible, so we link to the licenses we refer to, the library web pages and our own quick copyright glossary.

We would love you to try it out and would welcome your questions and feedback, even if you are pointing out mistakes that may have slipped through the net! You can contact us at [log in to unmask]
