Following on with what both Megan and Ian have said. Megan, you say,
"You'd need to look at the
precise wording of the copyright statement. Of course, most do not get so
specific, and make the resource available 'for educational use' or to..."
Of course people should keep in mind that copyright legislation applies to
all published material and that any digitisation of books/journals does
require permission from the copyright holder. It would always be advisable
to check with the rightsholder if digitisation is allowed (and if they wish
payment for such use) as some rightsholders may be willing to give
permission for paper copying but not digitisation.
I'd also add to that that just because a publisher has not made specific
copyright statements in the work related to what you want to do with it,
does not mean that it is permissable. Even if the material is being used
for educational purposes, rightsholders will more often than not wish to be
paid for your use of the material.

Good point, Ian.
Obviously, an article from an external source can only appear on your
College intranet/VLE if whoever wishes to put it there has obtained any
necessary clearance from the copyright holder. You'd need to look at the
precise wording of the copyright statement. Of course, most do not get so
specific, and make the resource available 'for educational use' or to
(particularly if a payment has been made) the college in question without
getting specific about '1st year of AVCE Science' or whatever.
Materials written by members of the college in the course of their
employment are normally regarded as being copyright of the college...
although this is always a grey area as many teachers are quite possessive
about anything that they have written. However, if they have taken the step
of making it available to members of the college by releasing it to the
Intranet/VLE, then I wouldn't see a problem in making it available to a
wider audience WITHIN the college - unless the author gets particularly
'precious' about it.

If you mean a published article then is there need to get copyright
permission to post multiple copies - or even the first one?
